               We               have               all               heard               it               before.

Whole               grains,               when               part               of               a               healthy               diet,               may               reduce               the               risk               of               heart               disease,               help               with               weight               management,               and               may               even               reduce               constipation               (as               whole               grains               contain               fiber).

But,               do               we               really               meet               our               daily               requirement               of               whole               grains?
               According               to               the               Dietary               Guidelines               for               Americans               2010               ,               less               than               5               percent               of               Americans               meet               their               daily               whole-grain               recommendation,               while               consuming               on               average               6               servings               of               refined               grains               (when               no               more               than               three               are               recommended).

So,               as               a               whole,               Americans               generally               eat               enough               total               grains,               however               most               of               the               grains               consumed               are               refined               grains               rather               than               whole               grains               (And,               some               refined               grains               are               high               in               solid               fats               and               sugars.)

               Don't               have               time               to               measure               things               out?

The               ChooseMyPlate.gov               website               breaks               it               down               into               more               simple               terms:               "In               general,               1               slice               of               bread,               1               cup               of               ready-to-eat               cereal,               or               ½               cup               of               cooked               rice,               cooked               pasta,               or               cooked               cereal               can               be               considered               as               1               ounce               equivalent               from               the               Grains               Group."               The               chart               lists               specific               amounts               that               count               as               1-ounce               equivalent               of               grains               towards               your               recommended               daily               intake.
What               is               a               Whole               Grain?

But,               if               we               want               to               be               the               beneficiary               of               better               health               and               the               reduced               risk               of               chronic               diseases               by               consuming               more               whole               grains,               we               must               first               understand               what               a               whole               grain               is.
               According               to               the               Whole               Grains               Council               ,               "Whole               grains               or               foods               made               from               them               contain               all               the               essential               parts               and               naturally-occurring               nutrients               of               the               entire               grain               seed.

If               the               grain               has               been               processed               (e.g.,               cracked,               crushed,               rolled,               extruded,               and/or               cooked),               the               food               product               should               deliver               approximately               the               same               rich               balance               of               nutrients               that               are               found               in               the               original               grain               seed."
               A               few               examples               of               whole               grains               include:               wheatberry,               barley,               bulgur,               faro,               millet,               quinoa,               amaranth,               oats,               corn,               popcorn,               and               rye.
               If               you               don't               typically               buy               grains               in               bulk               form               and               cook               them               as               part               of               a               delicious               meal,               then               finding               whole               grain               foods               may               be               a               challenge.

However,               the               Whole               Grains               Council               has               created               an               official               packaging               symbol               called               the               Whole               Grain               Stamp               that               helps               consumers               find               real               whole               grain               products.

The               Stamp               first               appeared               on               store               shelves               in               mid-2005               and               is               now               becoming               more               widespread.
               The               100%               Stamp               assures               you               that               a               food               contains               a               full               serving               or               more               of               whole               grain               in               each               labeled               serving               and               that               ALL               the               grain               is               whole               grain,               while               the               basic               Whole               Grain               Stamp               appears               on               products               containing               at               least               half               a               serving               of               whole               grain               per               labeled               serving.
               "Well,"               you               ask,               "what               if               there               is               no               stamp?

Does               that               mean               they               aren't               whole               grain               foods?"               No,               not               necessarily.

"Many               whole               grain               products               not               yet               using               the               Stamp               will               list               the               grams               of               whole               grain               somewhere               on               the               package,               or               say               something               like               "100%               whole               wheat,"               explains               the               Whole               Grains               Council.

"You               can               trust               these               statements.

               Meeting               the               daily               recommendations               for               consuming               whole               grains               can               be               challenging,               and               especially               so               for               those               suffering               from               celiac               disease               (a               gluten               intolerance).

A               strict               gluten               free               diet               is               currently               the               only               treatment               for               celiac               disease,               and               requires               the               complete               removal               of               all               wheat,               rye               and               barley               products,               eliminating               some               of               the               most               common               sources               of               both               refined               and               whole               grain               products               in               the               US.
               There               is               a               growing               number               of               gluten-free               products               available               at               the               supermarket,               however,               replacements               for               cereals               and               baking               mixes               are               often               made               up               of               a               combination               of               cornstarch,               potato               starch,               tapioca               starch               and/or               white               rice               flour.

The               nutrient               composition               of               these               produce               pale               in               comparison               to               those               made               from               whole               grains.
With               some               of               the               most               common               grains               restricted               from               the               diet,               those               with               gluten               intolerance               must               look               for               different               options               ---               grains               that               are               gluten               free.

The               good               news               is               that               many               gluten               free               whole               grains               are               packed               with               higher               levels               of               fiber               and               minerals               than               the               more               familiar               grains.

Gluten-free               grains               include               amaranth,               buckwheat,               corn,               millet,               montina,               quinoa,               rice,               sorghum,               teff               and               wild               rice.

(Note:               Oats               is               a               gluten               free               grain,               however,               there               is               a               high               risk               of               gluten               contamination               during               production.)
