The Basics of Healthy Grains
Healthy grains are whole grains that provide important nutrients our bodies need. Grains come from cereal plants and include foods like wheat, rice, oats, barley, corn, quinoa, and millet.
Healthy grains specifically refer to whole grains, which means the entire grain kernel is used — including the bran (fibre-rich outer layer), germ (nutrient-packed core), and endosperm (starchy middle). These parts contain fibre, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
In contrast, refined grains have been processed to remove the bran and germ, which strips away many nutrients and fibre. Examples include white rice and white bread.
Eating healthy grains supports digestion, heart health, steady energy, and helps prevent diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
