For those of you who can not eat wheat, rye, barley or oats, because you have an intolerance to gluten or you are a diagnosed coeliac sufferer, there are several other grains, fruits and legumes available to you that are loaded with flavour :
Amaranth
Millet
Soy & soy beans
Quinoa
Buckwheat
Lupins
Amaranth is an ancient seed that today is used as a grain. As a plant amaranth is an exceptionally complete protein and also provides a good source of dietary fibre, as well as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese. Available as organic puffed cereal, organic rolled flakes and organic flour.
Millet is said to be the most ancient of all grains. Containing a protein level of approx. 11% millet is rich in B vitamins, especially niacin, B6 and folate (B9), calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. Available as organic unhulled grain, organic hulled grain and organic flour.
Soy beans are a legume and belong to the pea family. With a protein content making up about 40-50% of their weight, soybeans are extremely nutritious. Available as organic and non organic beans, flour and organic roasted beans.
Quinoa is an ancient seed also used as a grain. It’s protein content is very high (12%–18%). Quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete food. It is a good source of dietary fibre and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is also easy to digest. Available as organic grain (both white and red), organic rolled flakes, organic puffed cereal and organic flour.
Buckwheat despite it’s name is neither a grass nor a relative of wheat. Buckwheat is related to the rhubarb family. It is high in essential amino acids making it close to a complete protein. It is available as grain and flour.
Lupins are a legume and belong to the pea family. They contain a high level of protein (40%) and fibre (30%). Available as flour.
