Wholesome grains and more
CHOOSING good and quality grains or cereal foods are essential for good health and good life.
According to the Malaysian Food Pyramid, grains and their products are a food group that forms the base and it makes up 50%-60% of total daily energy.
From the recommendations, we should eat adequate amount of cereal foods daily and choose at least half of the grain foods from whole grains.
Grains are a staple food for many people around the world. All grains start life as whole grains and they are the entire seed of a plant.
Whole grains in its natural form are nutritious and offer various health benefits. It is made up of three major parts – the bran, the germ and the endosperm.
Bran is the outer layer of the grain which provides fibre, vitamins and dietary minerals.
Germ is the smallest part of the grain that’s wholesome in nutrition and includes dietary fibre, protein, vitamins B1, B2, B6, E and minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc.
Endosperm is the main part of the grain which contains mainly starch. Whole grains include unpolished rice, wheat, oats, beans, corn and barley.
Unfortunately, many of us prefer to consume refined grains rather than whole grains as refined grains have a finer texture.
In fact, refined grains have been milled to remove the majority of the nutritious parts of the bran and germ, leaving only the endosperm. White rice is an example of this.
The health benefits of whole grains include a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, improve gut and bowel health and better weight management.
