Quinoa has its origins in the Andean region of Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru. A grain-like crop, used primarily for its seeds and closely related to the beetroot and spinach family, it’s classified as a superfood due to its high protein content. Quinoa also ranks on the ‘pretty’ factor with a red variety that adds great colour to bowls and platters.
Millet is an ancient seed, originating from Africa and North China. As it is gluten-free it’s often used as a replacement for gluten grains. It’s also rich in calcium and B vitamins. The cooked grains closely resemble fine couscous and, when dry-roasted, develop a rich and nutty flavour.

Buckwheat – also known as ‘kasha’ – is a cousin of the rhubarb family and is often substituted for rice, for a nuttier, earthier flavour. Buckwheat contains high levels of rutin, which is believed to lower ‘bad cholesterol’. It’s also available in flour, which makes super pancakes and is the hero ingredient in soba noodles.
