    No, amaranth and quinoa are not grains. They are part of the same family as beets. Flax is also not a grain.

    Bulgar, triticale, and farina are all wheat. So they are grains.

    Okay, often called pseudo grains.
    amaranth is a pigweed relative ( ha! ?) Referred to as an herb, a veg. Has its own genus class with 60 species. Whatever, I like it, but still cant get it to pop! :)
    Quinoa - technically a fruit, chenopodium family, called a weed of lambs quarters, herb, and MOTHER GRAIN to the Incas as it gave long life. Whatever, I like it, but still can't get it to pop! :)

    AAOOB FOODS. C

    ... maybe I'll try the moisture trick for stragler kernals. .. :)
