Contain a Wide Range of Healthy Antioxidants

Whole grains are linked to better health because they include a variety of antioxidant components, including polyphenols, carotenoids, phytosterols, and selenium. Furthermore, whole grains, together with fruits and vegetables, are key antioxidant sources in the diet. Polyphenols, carotenoids, and selenium are abundant in all three grains related to farro (emmer, einkorn, and spelled). Long-term intake of plant polyphenol-rich diets may protect against illnesses such as certain cancers, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and neurological disorders, according to observational studies.

A meta-analysis of 16 research found that eating three servings of whole grains per day lowered the incidence of diabetes by 32%. Another major evaluation of 45 research found that eating three servings of whole grains per day lowered the risk of heart disease and stroke by 22% and 12%, respectively.
