Kate Geagan, Nutritionist:
Choose whole grains straight from the earth, like brown rice, quinoa and amaranth, and breads made from these grains.
And here’s my best-kept secret:
Seek out an ancient strain of wheat called Einkhorn wheat. In the 1990s, scientists found Einkhorn wheat on an ancient man who had been preserved in ice for more than 5000 years, making it humankind’s first domesticated wheat. They resurrected the grain and reintroduced it to market shelves.
Einkhorn wheat has fewer chromosomes on its DNA than modern wheat, making it more easily digestible for people with gluten intolerance. It’s also loaded with protein, vitamins and fiber, and it regulates your blood sugar better than other grains.
Ancient wheat vs. modern wheat...interesting. Is this better living through chemistry?
