The canaryseed is an annual grass, winter-spring growing. Originally from the Mediterranean region, it is grown for grain production in the temperate zones of the world.
It is a diploid species, predominantly autogamous, whose production practices, requirements and cultivation cycle, resemble those of other winter cereals such as wheat and barley.
It is considered a true cereal, whose grains have a unique composition and a structure similar to that of others of the same botanical family such as wheat, oats, barley and rice.
Canaryseed contains 7 times more potassium than a banana and more calcium than a cup of skim milk. Consuming one 1/2 cup of Canaryseed per day will provide you with 831mg of potassium, 236mg of calcium, 431mg of magnesium, and 112 mcg of folic acid.
Each 100 gr of Canaryseed contains:
- Carbohydrates: 55.8 grs
- Proteins: 13 grs
- Fat: 5.2 grs
