Ancient Grain Market Overview Analysis:
There is no official definition of what ancient grains are, and most whole grains can be considered "old" because they have been around since the dawn of humanity. According to the Whole Grains Council, however, they are loosely defined as grains that have remained mostly unchanged over the last few generations. Therefore, Modern wheat would not fall into this category, but certain varieties such as Einkorn, Farro, Kamut and Spelt would fall into this category.
Heirloom varieties of other traditional grains— such as black barley, red and black rice, blue corn — may also be called ancient grains. Certain grains primarily ignored until recently by Western palates (such as sorghum, chia, millet, quinoa, amaranth) would also be widely regarded as ancient grains. Sometimes less popular grains, such as buckwheat or wild rice, are also included.
Ancient Grain Market Recent Developments:
Ancient grains have been feeding humans since the beginning of civilization, but have been largely ignored by Western countries where selectively bred and processed grains have an economic advantage. But there have been few product developments in the area.

Kirkland Ancient Crackers from Costco were made from amaranth, millet, quinoa and teff. Boulder Canyon Ancient Grains Snack Chips from Utz Quality Foods are made of seven grains and seeds, including quinoa, millet, chia, amaranth, brown rice, brown teff and sorghum.
