What’s the deal with “ancient grains” in modern baking? Do they really make a difference?

Hi foodies! I’ve been seeing a lot of recipes lately calling for things like einkorn, spelt, and teff instead of regular wheat flour. They’re always described as “ancient grains,” but I’m wondering, do they actually make a noticeable difference in flavor or texture? Is it just a trendy health thing, or is there a reason these grains are making a comeback? Anyone here bake with them and notice anything special? I’m tempted to try but not sure where to start!
 
Ancient grains like einkorn, spelt, and teff definitely bring unique flavors and textures to baked goods! 🌾✨ They’re not just a trend; many people find them more nutritious and easier to digest compared to regular wheat. If you're curious, starting with spelt flour in recipes can be a great introduction—it often substitutes well for all-purpose flour! 🍞❤️
