Topic: Pseudocereals


In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

  
  CORDIS FP5: Projects
Development of a new beverage with pseudocereals fermented by sourdough cultures.
Pseudocereals are crop similar cereals, which do not belong to the family of crops.
Due to their physiology of nutrition they contribute to a more healthy nutrition in Europe and they offer a possibility for a prevention of a one-sided nutrition out of wheat, rice and maze.

 Pseudocereals and Less Common Cereals - Studia AS
Examines six such grains that have been important food crops in various parts of the world and have the potential for much greater and more widespread use.
This book, written by leading grain scientists from Europe and Africa, examines six such grains that have been important food crops in various parts of the world and have the potential for much greater and more widespread use.
The chemistry, nutritional value, food processing technologies and potential applications of three true cereals: sorghum, spelt wheat and the major millet species, and three dicotyledonous pseudocereals: grain amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa are discussed.

 Cereals, Pseudocereals
This is a list of cereals and pseudocereals that are either currently grown, are recommended alternate crops, are experimental crops, or are not recommended for Missouri.
A pseudocereal (broadleaf) well suited for double cropping after wheat or other crops that can be harvested by mid to late July.
The cereals and pseudocereals listing was compiled and written by Dr. Rob Myers, Jefferson Institute.

Indigenous grains such as sorghum and millets and cowpeas from Africa, and pseudocereals such as amaranth and quinoa from South America are indigenous grains that, unlike e.g.
The environmental conditions in semi-arid Africa with frequent droughts and short periods of high rainfall are especially conducive to soil erosion caused by mechanized agriculture due to the large areas of unprotected soil.
The water consumption is also less overall for sorghum, millets and pseudocereals compared to more developed grains.

The world continues to depend heavily upon a relatively small range of crops for food, fuel, fibre and industrial use, while many potentially good, economically acceptable alternatives exist.
This book, which is the second in a series looking at underutilized crops, provides thorough details of those underutilized cereals and pseudocereals which are currently benefitting from research and others which have been neglected and deserve more research attention.
Under the guidance of the International Centre for Underutilized Crops, the contents of this book have been drawn together by Professor Williams, who has wide research experience in the exploitation of new crops.

 Review One
Many of the pseudocereals are being developed as crops for the future.
However, the Incas and Aztec had these pseudocereals as staples prior to the Spanish Conquest and colonization.
In most areas, both grains and legumes occur in the same complex (originating in the same center or noncenter regions).

Pseudocereals are non-grasses that produce similar fruits or seeds.
Some pseudocereals are important today; others have been extremely important in the past.
Amaranthus was the second most important crop in Mexico when the Spanish arrived in the early 1500's.

 Quinoa
Quinoa is sometimes referred to as a "pseudocereal" because it is a broadleaf non-legume that is grown for grain unlike most cereal grains which are grassy plants.
It is similar in this respect to the pseudocereals buckwheat and amaranth.
The nutritional quality of this crop has been compared to that of dried whole milk by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

 Pseudograins
The cereals and grains are cultivated annual grasses (Family Poaceae), which have medium-sized to relatively small, one-seeded, dry fruits (grain, kernel, or caryopsis); they are ground into flour or meal, cooked into mush or porridge, used for beer, and eaten whole or in soups.
Pseudocereals or pseudograins, on the other hand, are annual plants belonging to non-grass families but which also have smallish dry fruits that can be used in the same ways as the starchy and proteinaceous cereals.
On a worldwide scale, no pseudograin has ever been a major crop, but for certain isolated cultures, often in regions that have short growing seasons and poor soils, pseudograins have been essential, highly valued crop plants.

 There's something about millet. - By Sara Dickerman - Slate Magazine
Which makes you wonder: If whole grains are so tasty, hip, and good for us, how come they occupy such a tiny sliver of our diet?
First a quick anatomy lesson: Grains (and the "pseudocereals" buckwheat, quinoa, and amaranth) are seeds.
Whole grains and flours retain the bran, the fibrous coating of the kernel; the aleurone layer, the fatty, nutrient-rich coating beneath it; and the germ, the would-be baby plant, which is rich in protein and some fat.
