What’s this all about?

We love whole grains! We have found that we prefer their flavor. They are also far healthier than the refined foods which characterize the typical modern diet.

Switching to whole grains helps maintain a low glycemic diet. That means you will have more sustainable energy levels throughout the day, and probably fewer problems with weight control.

We created this website with one goal: to build an online community of like-minded people who either share our enthusiasm about whole grains or just want to learn more about them.

While technically not a grain, buckwheat’s groats are used as a grain and are packed with nutrients. Buckwheat is rich in the bioflavonoid Rutin which is known to have antioxidant properties and has been shown to prevent oxidation of LDL cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of heart disease.
