The Whole Grains Council defines ancient grains as typically unchanged over the last several hundred years and largely intact as compared to grains that have been cross-bred more recently. So modern wheat, which is bred, would not be considered ‘ancient’ while spelt, buckwheat, farro, sorghum, amaranth, teff, millet, quinoa and others would be. 

This episode covers the many benefits to your body of various ancient grains including:
