ORRVILLE, Ohio, April 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- While it's easy to indulge in comfort foods during the dark days of winter, the lighter days of spring usher in opportunity to renew our eating habits. The season, associated with renewal and rebirth, provides a bounty of produce and when accompanied by ancient grains, such as truRoots organic quinoa, legumes and seeds offer endless opportunities for perfectly delicious meals.

truRoots(R) Ancient Grains feature the highest quality organic ingredients that are harvested by traditional farmers using certified organic standards and time-honored practices. One of these ancient practices includes sprouting, an age-old tradition dating back to over 5,000 years ago. Sprouting helps to break down the protective coating of the grain, which helps unlock its natural goodness.
