A combination of millet, sorghum, and light buckwheat flours along with chia seeds create this deliciously moist and tangy-sweet lemon pound cake that may taste rich but actually isn’t.

Ancient grains like amaranth, buckwheat and millet may not be pantry staples (yet!), but they’re all gluten-free, nutritious and delicious. The recipes in Grain Power introduce new tastes and textures into everyday dishes like Chicken on Lime Avocado Quinoa Salad, Caramel Apple Buckwheat Crêpes and to-die-for Lemon & Blueberry Ancient Grain Pound Cake.
