23 Oct 2017 --- The resurgence in ancient grains in recent years reflects rising levels of interest in alternative grain products that are positioned as traditional, natural and nutritious, with some also suitable for on-trend gluten-free formulations, Innova Market Insights reports. While just 0.5 percent of the global food and drinks launches recorded by Innova Market Insights ten years ago featured ancient grains as ingredients, numbers doubled to over 1 percent five years ago, before reaching over 2.5 percent in the 12 months to the end of August 2017, rising to over 3 percent in the US.
