Pereg Gourmet Launches a Lineup of Ancient Grains, Lentils & Beans

For some of us, no meal is complete without grains. They’re easy to prepare, filling, comforting, and go well with almost any ingredient. What’s not to love, right?

While some grains get a bad reputation in today’s carb-shaming world, there are actually nutritious choices available that have numerous health benefits – even for those of us living a gluten-free lifestyle. One company striving to produce nutritional grains is Pereg Gourmet, a family-owned business known for their wide array of premium ancient grains, spices, lentils and beans that are ideal for rounding out a meal.

The new lineup features 20 different varieties including: white quinoa, red quinoa, farro, Texas chili beans, wheat berries, green split peas, chickpeas, yellow split peas, basmati rice, red kidney beans, French lentils, black beans, bulgur, soup mix, pearl couscos, traditional couscous and white beans. Each option is completely free of preservatives and OU Kosher certified, and many of these new items are also gluten-free certified and non-GMO verified.

It’s great that so many of the new grain, lentil and bean offerings from Pereg Gourmet fall into the “superfoods” category often buzzed about in our favorite health and fitness media outlets. For example, if your diet lacks protein, simply add red quinoa: it’s a complete protein that contains all nine essential amino acids, and almost twice as much fiber as other grains. Another excellent option for the health-conscious is farro, which is full of minerals (including magnesium) and contains a type of carb that may boost the immune system.

We all love grains because they’re affordable, easy to prepare and convenient – and Pereg Gourmet takes things to the next step with stand-up, re-sealable pouches that maintain freshness and feature recipe ideas on the back. I’m definitely adding some of these new items to my shopping list, because when the weather gets cooler, I’ll be craving some hearty, comforting grain-filled dishes!
