Why Rice & Whole Grains?
Grains (including rice) are finally getting the attention they deserve
as they move into the nutritional spotlight. The new USDA dietary
recommendations highlight grains and legumes as an essential part
of a healthy, whole foods diet. With their impressive fiber, complex
carbohydrates and protein profiles, they are, without a doubt, some
of Mother Nature’s most perfect foods.
Grains are the edible portion of cereal plants. The grain or kernel is
technically a complete fruit and houses most of its nutritional value.
In addition to their high fiber content, grains are an excellent source
of B vitamins and many minerals, including magnesium, iron, zinc,
potassium and selenium. The germ oils found in the germ layers of
whole grains contain vitamin E, an important antioxidant.
Whole grains that are best served alone or as complements to main
dishes include: wheat, rice, rye, quinoa, barley and oats just to
name a few. Breads, crackers, pastas and cereals are products
made from grains that have been ground into flours. Only flours
labeled as whole grain contain the bran and germ portion of the
grain. If the label just lists flour even if the flour is labeled as enriched
or wheat flour, the nutrient-rich bran and germ portion of the grain
have usually been removed.
