grains for vegeterians

millet
Millet isn’t new, in fact it’s been a dietary staple for thousands of years and is considered a quality alternative grain that rivals wheat, rice, and oats. Millet has a low impact on blood sugar compared with other grains, and some research has shown that the grain may be helpful for supporting ocular
health.Millet can be cooked in a similar manner as rice and oats and can easily be used as a substitute
 for these grains

brown rice
Although rice isn’t the most nutritious food on the planet, it does have its place in the lives of millions of people. White rice is the processed form of brown rice, stripped of its fiber and antioxidants. Brown rice, on the other hand, maintains its natural form, containing the bran, germ, and endosperm. This unprocessed form of brown rice leaves its fiber intact, slowing the impact the carbohydrates has on blood sugar.

amaranth
Amaranth has been cultivated for over 8,000 years and was a staple in the diet of the Aztec civilization. The grain contains a high level of Elysian, an amino acid that is lacking in wheat. Therefore, amaranth is seen as a popular complementary protein to common grains, helping vegetarians and vegans receive all essential amino acids. Research shows that amaranth may benefit cardiovascular health, and some studies indicate its high amount of antioxidant Amaranth can be toasted, boiled, and baked if used as a flour.
