Amaranth - a grain, used by the Aztecs, which is both gluten and wheat-free and is a source of vitamin C

• Barley - an excellent source of fibre, manganese, selenium, and thiamine

• Bulgur - a quick-cooking form of whole wheat which is high in manganese

• Kamut - has a nutty flavour and is high in fibre, protein and several minerals, including selenium and manganese.

• Millet - a small, whole grain is a staple in many Asian and African countries but thought of mostly as bird food in the United States

• Spelt - commonly eaten in medieval times, spelt is part of the wheat family and is high in protein and fibre

• Teff - common in Ethiopia, this grain has the highest calcium content

• Quinoa - perhaps the best known ancient grain, quinoa is a complete protein since it has all nine essential amino acids

Would you like to taste the health-giving grain found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun ?

Feast on the unprocessed kernels said to have been stored on the ark by Noah ?

How about a vodka made from traditionally farmed Bolivian quinoa ?
