Wholegrains can be delicious
GRAINS are a staple food for many people around the world. Every grain starts life as a wholegrain and is the entire seed of a plant. Wholegrains in natural form are nutritious and offer various health benefits.
For example, brown rice is made up of three major parts – the bran, the germ and the endosperm.
Bran is the outer layer of the grain, which provides 29% of the nutrients, including fibre, vitamins and minerals.
Germ is the smallest part of the grain that provides 66% nutrients, including dietary fibre, protein, vitamins B1, B2, B6 and E, and minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc.
Endosperm is the main part of the grain that contains 5% nutrient, which is mainly starch ( sugar).
People mostly choose to eat white rice as a staple food during breakfast, lunch or dinner. In fact, refined grains have been milled to remove 95% of the nutritious parts, leaving only the starch that is called white rice.
People tend to eat white rice as it is soft and cooks easily compared with brown rice, which is rough and hard to chew.
Eating wholegrains instead of refined grains provides for overall health, lowers the risk of many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular problems and Type 2 diabetes, and helps in weight maintenance. The benefits are most pronounced for those consuming at least three servings daily.
