    Angelina Jolie's latest go-to snack has us rummaging around the usually-neglected pantry

    Angelina Jolie has reportedly been snacking on a diet of 'ancient grains', forming her strict eating regime around handfuls of nuts and seeds to keep her slender body in shape. 

    The Tourist star claims a mixture of quinoa, millet, chia seeds, spelt and buckwheat have huge health benefits for both her well being and figure, and according to one source, the stunning mother-of-six can't get enough of the earthy morsels.

    ''Angie's always been a fan of healthy seeds and grains, but lately she's taken it to a whole new level," a source told National Enquirer magazine.

    "She's into eating products made from ancient grains and raves about their health benefits. She claims they provide her with nutrients she can't find anywhere else, plus shinier skin.''
