Nutrition Tip: Is Your Family Getting Enough Whole Grains?

July 5th, 2010 by Dana White MS, RD, ATC · No Comments · Nutrition Tips

There’s more to whole grains than whole-wheat bread. The USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend choosing whole grain at least 50% of the time to get more fiber, protein and energy-producing B-vitamins. Work a few of these into the daily routine at your house:

  • Whole wheat flour tortillas
  • Whole grain cereals
  • Brown Rice
  • Whole wheat couscous
  • Whole wheat pasta
  • Brown rice pasta

Feeling a little adventurous? Experiment with more exotic whole grains like kamut, farro and quinoa.
