WELCOME TO THE ANCIENT GRAINS CONFERENCE
HOSTED BY THE NORTHERN CROPS INSTITUTE
About Ancient Grains
Ancient Grains, also known as Heritage Grains, have provided food for humans and have had minimal changes to their genetic coding by selective breeding. They are classified as cereal grains that include wheat, barley, sorghum, oats, millet, rice, and rye; pseudo-cereals that include amaranth, buckwheat, chickpeas; and as oilseeds that include hemp, safflower, and soybeans. Today, many ancient grains remain dietary staples for diverse populations in many parts of the developing world. They also offer infinite ways to be prepared.
