• Wheat: Whole grain wheat is rich in dietary fiber which helps improve bowel function. It also contains vitamin E, B-vitamins, magnesium, selenium, and carotenoids. Wheat can help to reduce the risk of diabetes, obesity, and metabolic disorders such as high blood pressure.
  
  
• Rye: This grain is high in many essential vitamins including folate, iron, magnesium, B-vitamins, and riboflavin. Because rye is rich in soluble fiber it helps reduce the glycemic index and may help to reduce the risk of diabetes type 2.
  
  
• Durum: Like many of the other grains used in Daybreak Mill’s cereal, durum can help reduce the risk of diabetes. Because it is rich in B-complex vitamins, it also supports a healthy nervous system and brain function. It is also rich in antioxidants, iron, and potassium, which helps with kidney health.

• Flax: Flax is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are great for heart health and for lowering harmful cholesterol levels. Flax is also a good source of lignans, which are a form of antioxidant that may help to reduce the risk of cancer.
  
  
• Buckwheat: Packed with soluble fiber, buckwheat is good for the digestive system and helps promote heart health. It is abundant in copper, manganese, magnesium, and iron, which help to strengthen the immune system, and phosphorus, which helps maintain tissue.
  
  
• Spelt: Like most whole grains, spelt is an excellent source of dietary fiber. It is rich in manganese, which has strong antioxidant properties and may help to boost the immune system. Spelt may also help to reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and colon cancer.
  
  
• Kamut: Kamut is a high-energy grain. It helps the digestive system to function more effectively by increasing metabolites and protects the nervous system. It is rich in manganese, which supports bone health. It is also a great source of protein.
  
  
• Millet: Millet is rich in niacin, which is important for healthy skin. This grain is low in simple carbs and high in complex carbs, which means that it helps to maintain a healthy glycemic index and may reduce the risk of diabetes type 2. Because it’s rich in fiber, millet may also help to prevent gallstones.
  
  
• Red fife: This variety of wheat is high in protein. It is easily digestible and more tolerable for those who suffer from gluten sensitivity. Its fiber content makes it good for digestion and it may help reduce the risk of diabetes.
