Benefits of Whole Grains


The message is pretty clear: whole grains are good for us. Like anything else, I always need to know WHY. The following is a nice breakdown of the benefits of whole grains:
-They’re high in fiber
-They’re slow to digest which helps to control blood sugar
-They’re satisfying, and thus keep us "comfortable full"


Highly nutritious whole grains include any of the following:
  • Quinoa

  • Millet

  • Barley

  • Bulgur
