It's time to make the move to unusual but healthful ancient grains as deliciously sweet dessert alternatives.

Ancient grains include names like spelt, Khorasan wheat (Kamut), millet, barley, teff, oats, freekeh, bulgur, sorghum, Farro, einkorn, and emmer. Also don't forgetthe pseudocereals quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, and chia.

Ancient grains have persisted through time because of their appealing flavors and their high nutritional value. Quinoa for instance is known in diverse cultures from Africa to South America to enhance the lactation of nursing mothers. (Though be warned that not all these grains are gluten free.)

Here are some favorite dessert recipes for you to enjoy and share.
