Heritage grains
Heritage grains are traditional, locally adapted varieties of grains like wheat, corn, and rice that have been cultivated for many generations. Unlike modern hybrids, they have often been grown without large-scale genetic modification, maintaining their natural traits. These grains are valued for their unique flavors, nutritional profiles, and adaptability to regional growing conditions. They tend to require less chemical intervention and preserve agricultural biodiversity. Heritage grains connect us to historical farming practices and promote sustainable agriculture, offering an alternative to mass-produced, industrial grains while supporting local farming communities.
