Are Ancient Grains Really Better For You?

The video discusses the rising interest in ancient hulled wheat varieties like spelt, emmer, and einkorn due to their potential benefits in crop diversity and specialty foods. It compares these ancient grains to modern wheat, highlighting differences in yield, growth, and nutritional content. Field trials in Germany showed modern wheat outperforms ancient varieties in yield, but ancient grains have higher protein content. Despite challenges, alternative farming methods and selective breeding could improve ancient wheat's viability.
