It's easy to get the three recommended servings of whole grain each day for a
total of at least 48 grams of whole grain if you know where to look. Wheat,
corn, oats and rice are the most common varieties of grain eaten in the United
States. An assortment of foods such as breakfast cereals, waffles, pancakes,
crackers, cookies and pastas can be delicious sources of whole grains. The
phrase "whole grain" tells you that the food is made from the entire grain.
Tips To Increase Whole Grains
-
Start your day with a cereal labeled "100% Whole Grain" or as a “Good” (at
least 8 grams of whole grain per serving) or “Excellent” (at least 16 grams of
whole grain per serving) source of whole grain.
-
Try whole grain side dishes such as brown rice, barley, kasha or buckwheat.
-
Munch on popcorn, whole grain granola bars, and whole grain cereal as wholesome
snack options.
-
Trade in your usual bread, rolls or pasta for the whole grain version.
-
Wrap up sandwich fixings in a corn or whole wheat tortilla.
