It's National Whole Grains Month!

Let's celebrate by food that may reduce heart disease, constipation, weight gain & birth defects. Try to Incorporate these grains into your diet: Oats aren’t just for breakfast. Try: bread with added whole-grain oats or fruit cobbler topped with oats & a little bit of brown sugar. You can, also, replace up to half of the flour in a recipe with oat flour. Try making pancakes using whole oats & whole-wheat flour. Brown rice is more nutritious than white. Try: brown rice in stir-fry, a casserole or as stuffing for baked peppers or tomatoes. Spelt is a type of wheat, but a bit sweeter, nuttier & richer in protein than regular wheat. Try: spelt pasta, pretzels or crackers. Quinoa is an ancient grain with a nutty flavor & a chewy texture. Try: quinoa instead of rice as a side dish, or try it in pilafs or risotto. Corn. Try: whole-grain cornbread, baked tortillas or air-popped popcorn without the butter & salt.
Whole grains are packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber & other health-protecting nutrients. Research suggests they may help fight cardiovascular disease & control insulin, triglycerides & weight.

Aim to make half your grains whole, eating at least 3 daily servings, or about 48 grams of whole grains per day. Tip: Look for the yellow Whole Grain Stamp on the label to ensure whole-grain content. What’s in a name? When shopping, look for the word whole as the first item on the ingredients list, or for the words 100% whole grain on the product label. Terms such as brown, nine-grain, mixed grain and multi-grain don’t guarantee the product is whole-grain.
