Grains and seeds possess potent health-giving properties; they are
packed with vitamins, dietary fibre and essential amino acids, and
are known to support the immune system. But most people don't
incorporate enough of these superfoods into their diets, and they
are missing out - on both the health benefits and on the flavour!
Amy Ruth Finegold has rid herself of the health problems that
plagued her and discovered a whole new exciting way to eat by
embracing these ancient grains - from amaranth to bulgur, buckwheat
to teff. Get off to a good start with Breakfast options including
Amaranth Porridge and Pineapple Bran Muffins. Soups include the
fruity and tangy Summer Melon Soup with Tamarind, while Salads
& Snacks also make a perfect light meal - try a Wheatberry
Salad with Apples and Pecans. Satisfying Main Dishes to enjoy
include Millet-stuffed Acorn Squash and Lamb Chops with a Warm
Quinoa Apricot Salad. Seeds and grains work well in Sweet Treats,
too; try Peach Pie with a Sunflower Seed Crust or treat yourself to
Peanut Butter Quinoa Cookies.
