The Truth About Your Food: Ancient Grains vs Modern Wheat

In this episode, Josh sits down with Jade Koyle of Grand Teton Ancient Grains to dive deep into the world of ancient grains like einkorn, emmer, and spelt. They discuss how regenerative agriculture practices not only rebuild soil health but also produce more nutrient-dense crops, leading to better health for your family and the planet. Jade shares why ancient grains haven't been hybridized or altered like modern wheat, and how their original structure makes them easier to digest and more nourishing. Whether you're a homesteader, a baker, or simply want to make healthier choices in your kitchen, this conversation is packed with insight and practical takeaways.For more information, visit the blog post here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/ancient-grains/Shop Grand Teton Ancient Grains and use the coupon code "homesteadingfamily" for 10% off your order.
