Pseudo-cereals are plants that produce seeds which can be used in a similar way to traditional cereals, but they do not belong to the Poaceae family. Common examples include Quinoa, Amaranth, and Buckwheat. These seeds are often gluten-free and are rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them popular among health-conscious consumers. Unlike true cereals such as Wheat or Rice, pseudo-cereals are often considered more nutritious and versatile. They can be used in various dishes, from salads to baked goods, and are increasingly being incorporated into diets around the world for their health benefits and culinary flexibility.
