A dealer wife famous for her cooking skills and ancient diet has shared the pantry changes every family should make to improve their health.
Gretchen Adler, known as @Gretchy to her half a million online followers, told DailyMail.com that swapping standard flour for einkorn, an ancient grain, is her top kitchen tip.
‘The wheat I use is called einkorn. They are not our modern varieties of wheat. It is actually the oldest form of wheat that contains bran. It is not the white flour that you buy in the market,’ he explained.
‘It has the whole part of the grain, you know, the bran, the endosperm, the germ. So when you make a cookie with that freshly ground flour, you’re satisfied and it has all these other nutrients in it too.’
The 38-year-old mother of three is also against all types of artificial sweeteners and most sugars.
Tradwife and influencer Gretchen Adler has shared the pantry tricks and swaps every family should follow to improve their health.
Gretchen said her top kitchen tip is to switch from traditional flour to Einkorn flour.
“I don’t have white sugar, brown sugar or very refined sweeteners in my kitchen,” she said.
Instead, he recommends using coconut sugar to sweeten your dishes, or pure honey and maple syrup.
“So I would definitely swap white sugar, brown sugar, agave and all those types of fake sweeteners for coconut sugar,” she said.
“It’s an unrefined sweetener from coconut, so it’s good to use.”
Despite recommending them, Adler still cautions that sweeteners should be used in limited quantities.
‘I always try to use sweeteners, even if they are natural, in limited quantities. So it’s not something we can just consume either, because it’s a sugar,” he said.
Adler also drinks raw milk, which has become a controversial health trend in recent years, and is only happy to drink nut milk if she has made it herself, to ensure that the ingredients are clean and do not contain added preservatives or thickeners.
‘If I had to make nut milk, which I don’t do often, but if I had to, I would do it myself. It’s pretty easy.
“You know, almond milk is just almonds and water, mixed together and then strained,” he said.
“I will also make coconut milk, which is simply dried coconut mixed with water, blended and then strained.”
The California-based mom also said it’s important to avoid eating out as much as possible because of the seed oils used in most restaurants.
Adler, along with Ballerina Farm’s Neeleman, model Nara Smith, and influencer Estee Williams, are some of the biggest stars in the current professional wife movement.
Gretchen currently shares recipes and offers master classes through her. official website.

Adler is famous for her “ancestral diet,” which consists of unprocessed whole foods.
‘Tradwife’ is a term used to describe women who are in traditional family-centered marriages.
Traditional wives take care of the home and children while their husband works and are often known for being kitchen geniuses who cook everything from scratch.
When it comes to identifying as a “tradwife,” which has become a controversial label lately, Adler says she prefers to be known as “tradwife 2.0.”
“I understand the criticism it gets because I think it really needs a more modern definition,” he said.
‘Tradwife is really a blast from the past, a 50s housewife with no feminist rights, so with Tradwife 2.0, I combined the best of 50s tradwife along with everything women could get from the feminist movement .
‘So we combine the best of both worlds in tradwife 2.0. I think it’s really just about educating people about what it means and what it’s like to be a midwife.’
