Modern wheat depends on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that damage our health, land, water, and environment. Fortunately, heritage 'landrace' wheats that evolved over millennia in the organic fields of traditional farms do not need bio-chemical intervention to yield bountifully, are gluten-safe, have rich flavor and high nutrition. Yet the robust, majestic wheats that nourished our ancestors are on the verge of extinction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eRestoring Heritage Grains\u003c\/i\u003e, author Eli Rogosa of the Heritage Grain Conservancy, invites readers to restore forgotten wheats such as delicious gluten-safe einkorn that nourished the first Neolithic farmers, emmer--the grain of ancient Israel, Egypt, and Rome that is perfect for pasta and flatbreads, rare durums that are drought-tolerant and high in protein, and many more little known wheat species, each of which have a lineage intertwined with the human species and that taste better than any modern wheat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRestoring Heritage Grains\u003c\/i\u003e combines the history of grain growing and society, in-depth practical advice on landrace wheat husbandry, wheat folk traditions and mythology, and guidelines for the Neolithic diet with traditional recipes for rustic bread, pastry and beer. Discover the ancient grains that may be one of the best solutions to hunger today, and provide resilience for our future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Rogosa helps us rediscover ancient landrace and traditional pre-Green Revolution wheats--varieties that are more delicious, nutritious, drought-resistant, and resilient than modern wheats, and that are already organic-adapted. . .
