Ancient grains are nutrient-dense powerhouses that thrive in harsh conditions like drought and poor soil, making them vital for food security, especially in regions affected by climate change. Rich in carbohydrates, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, many ancient grains like quinoa and amaranth are complete protein sources. Grains like fonio, sorghum, and barley also offer health benefits such as blood sugar control and heart health improvement.
Beyond their nutritional value, ancient grains are eco-friendly, requiring less water and fertilizer, and are more sustainable than modern crops. While they face challenges like lower yields and limited familiarity, they offer a promising future for food systems that are resilient, diverse, and nutritious.
