Grains

Grains play an important role in everyday nutrition – they are not only the basis of many meals, but also one of the richest natural sources of fiber, vegetable protein, B vitamins and minerals. Depending on the type, they can be used cooked, sprouted, ground or as an ingredient in flours, groats and granola. The most popular include quinoa, sesame, linseed, chia, as well as various types of cereals in the form of unprocessed grains – from millet, through barley, to popcorn. Appreciated for their simplicity and versatility, grains are reaching an increasingly wide range of people – both those who care about a balanced diet, and those who have to eliminate specific ingredients, such as gluten or lactose. An example is blue corn popcorn, which is not only distinguished by its color, but also by its natural composition without additives.

Grains – a variety of flavors, uses and properties

The richness offered by grains allows for complete culinary freedom – both in everyday recipes and more sophisticated dishes. Quinoa works great as a base for salads and main courses, black sesame and blue poppy seeds are irreplaceable in baking, and chia seeds are used for puddings, smoothies and homemade desserts. People looking for simple and natural products also like to reach for white peeled sesame or organic chia, choosing quality and a clean composition. Grains for sprouting are also becoming increasingly popular – such as radish, broccoli, rocket or mung bean seeds – which can be easily grown at home and added to sandwiches, salads or main courses. Such products, e.g. mung bean seeds for sprouting, are not only a source of vitamins, but also a great alternative to fresh vegetables in the winter.

How to choose good grains for your kitchen?

When choosing grains, it is worth paying attention to their origin, degree of processing and composition - the simpler, the better. Products with the BIO certificate are a guarantee that they do not contain pesticide residues or artificial additives. In turn, people on a gluten-free diet should reach for grains certified as gluten-free, e.g. millet, quinoa or basmati rice. For people who prefer local crops, grains of Polish origin are available, such as millet from Bio Raj or barley groats from Polish organic farms. Grains can be successfully stored for a long time, which makes them not only a convenient but also an economical choice for a home pantry. Regardless of the cooking style or type of diet - this is an ingredient that is always worth having on hand.
