The Truth About Grains: Here's My List of the Top 30
By Grace O
Eating whole foods is essential for optimum nutrition and is a significant anti-aging strategy. Eating whole grains-and foods made from them-is part of this strategy. Whole grains have more nutrients than refined grains. Ancient grains-such as emmer wheat (farro), einkorn, kamut (khorasan wheat), spelt, barley, rye, triticale, semolina, durum, and buckwheat-are far more nutrient dense than modern American high-yield wheat.

To make this soup vegan, use vegetable stock in place of the chicken stock and omit the fish or fish sauce. To give this soup an Asian flair, add 1 tablespoon of gingerroot, cut into strips.
