Grains

Оглавление

Starchy vegetables, legumes and grains are the three main foods groups from which we derive the bulk of our carbohydrates. Fruit is also a high carbohydrate food. Of these groups it is grains that are most often refined and processed – and it is food processing that is largely to blame for the huge increase in refined, high Glycemic Index foods. The main staple foods around the world are wheat and rice. However, there is more to grains than just the big two. Below is a list of grains and, where appropriate, the sorts of foods that are made from them. Where possible, opt for the unrefined product – wholemeal breads, whole-wheat pasta, unrefined breakfast cereals, brown rice, quinoa, millet grains and so on.
