Freekeh Week: Freekeh has up to four times the fibre of brown rice. It provides more protein than mature wheat and most other grains. It is a source of both prebiotics and probiotics, is rich in iron, zinc, potassium and calcium 5. Freekeh promotes weight loss by being low on the glycemic index and is super filling. (make sue you chew it well, as you do all grains.) Freekeh will help lower your risk of heart disease and help to manage diabetes. Freekeh is rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which are carotenoids - a type of antioxidant - that promote eye health. Emerging research suggests that freekeh may offer much benefit to digestive health. Whoo hoo! Freekeh is not gluten-free, and therefore not safe for celiacs, but f youre mildy gluten intolerant - give it a go. To iincrease digestibilty eb=ven more, soak your quinoa for a few hours first (and discard the water on your plants) before cooking. #freekehweek #grainsmonth
