Heritage Grain
Heritage grain refers to traditional varieties of grains that have been cultivated for generations. These grains, such as spelt, emmer, and farro, are often grown using sustainable farming practices. They are valued for their unique flavors, nutritional benefits, and ability to adapt to local growing conditions.
Unlike modern hybrid grains, heritage grains maintain genetic diversity, which can enhance resilience against pests and diseases. Many farmers and bakers are increasingly interested in these grains for their potential to improve soil health and support local agriculture. This movement also promotes the preservation of cultural food traditions associated with these ancient grains.
