Organic Ancient Grain Mix

Organic Ancient Grain Mix is a blend of whole grains that were cultivated and consumed historically, before modern wheat varieties became dominant. These grains, such as amaranth, quinoa, millet, and spelt, are often grown using organic farming methods. They are typically processed by cleaning, milling, or flaking to be used in food products.

Manufacturers add ancient grains for their nutritional profile and unique textures. They contribute a nutty flavor and a satisfying chewiness to baked goods. These mixes are commonly found in crackers, breads, cereals, and granola bars.

Ancient grains are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as food ingredients. They are a source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. While specific health benefits are often discussed in peer-reviewed literature, no single body has set a numeric limit for consumption of these grains. They are not associated with major health controversies.
