Grains: Difference between revisions

Grains are a type of plant food that include wheat, rice, oats, barley, and corn. Whole grains are an important source of fiber and other essential nutrients. In a healthy diet, at least half of all grains consumed should be whole grains. Processed grains, such as white bread and white rice, have been stripped of much of their fiber and nutrients and are not as beneficial for overall health.
