Ancient grains, such as quinoa, amaranth, millet, spelt, and farro, have been cultivated for thousands of years and remain largely unchanged by modern farming practices. These grains are called “ancient” because they have not been hybridized or heavily modified like conventional grains such as corn and wheat.

Known for their nutrient density, ancient grains offer higher levels of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them a healthy addition to pet food. They are especially beneficial for pets with sensitivities to common grains, providing a gentler, more wholesome option.
