Ancient Grains’ Goodness

June 2011 Prepared Foods – SK Food International has introduced Identity Preserved Certified Organic and Conventional Non-GMO Ancient Grains, Precooked Flakes and Flours to its extensive line of Premium Quality Ingredients. SK Food is pleased to offer ancient grains, which include amaranth, quinoa, millet, sorghum, spelt and teff. Considered also to be heirloom grains, ancient grains have received that name, because they have remained unchanged by modern science and breeding technologies, the supplier says. Ancient grains often also carry another moniker—Supergrains—due to their high level of protein, in addition to many other heath benefits, such as omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Another distinctive health benefit of ancient grains is that amaranth, quinoa, millet, teff and sorghum are all naturally gluten-free. SK Food International Inc., 701-356-4106, www.skfood.com pf
