cereal grains that contain the entire grain kernel: the bran, germ, and endosperm.
Whole grains are top heart-healthy foods. They also help to reduce the risk of stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity, asthma, inflammatory disease, and some forms of cancer. Teff and oats are especially high in manganese, Kamut® khorasan wheat and durum wheat have plenty of selenium that helps regulate thyroid function and prevent cellular damage from free radicals. Barley is highest in fiber, and quinoa trumps all other whole grains in folate.
