There are a number of different types of grains found within the Poaceae family from ‘true’ cereal grains e.g wheat, oats, rice, corn (maize), barley, sorghum, rye, millet,  to  the ‘pseudo-cereal’ group e.g. amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa (pronounced ‘kin-wah’). The ‘pseudo-cereal’ group are still part of the Poaceae botanical family, in which ‘true’ grains belong as they are nutritionally similar and used in similar ways to ‘true’ grains.
