A cereal long sown only as bird feed, which became accepted as human food once varieties free of the irritant hairs on the grain were bred. It is gluten-free and high in protein. Hairless varieties are grown for food in Canada.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
