Millet is One of the Most Alkalizing Grains you can Eat
Millet is a naturally nutrient rich grain that stands out for being more alkalizing than many commonly consumed grains, which tend to be more acid forming in the body. Because of this, it has long been appreciated in traditional diets as a gentle, balancing staple.
It is naturally gluten free and is often considered easy to digest for many people, making it a supportive option for a wide range of dietary needs. Millet is also highly versatile, working well in both sweet and savory dishes, from porridge and baked goods to pilafs and side dishes.
Its combination of natural alkalizing properties, digestibility, and flexibility in the kitchen is what makes millet a unique and valuable grain choice in everyday eating.
Yay! We’ve Swapped Seed Oils for Heart-Healthy EVOO!
At Simple Kneads, we’ve always believed that food should nourish both the body and the soul. That’s why we’re excited to share a meaningful change we’ve made in our bakery: We’ve officially swapped out seed oils in all of our baking and replaced them with heart-healthy extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Why the switch? Extra virgin olive oil is packed with antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fats, making it a smarter, cleaner choice for your heart. It’s been a staple in Mediterranean diets for centuries, and now, it’s a staple in ours too.
