Whole Grains Are Good and Good For You

Whole grains are so important in our diet, that I have been researching what is included in this category of food. A good list of whole grains will include:
• Amaranth
• Barley
• Buckwheat
• Corn, including whole cornmeal and popcorn
• Millet
• Oats, including oatmeal
• Quinoa
• Rice, both brown rice and colored rice
• Rye
• Sorghum (also called milo)
• Teff
• Triticale
• Wheat, including varieties such as bulgur, cracked wheat and wheatberries
• Wild rice

Good whole grain wheat bread is an excellent source of nutrition and the best company I have found to deliver consistently natural, fresh breads is the Great Harvest Bread Company which has been baking whole grain bread products for more than 30 years. They purchase their premium whole wheat from family-owned farms located on the high plains of Montana. This region is known for growing some of the highest quality wheat in the world. Farmers send their harvest samples to suppliers for preliminary testing, and if these samples meet specified criteria they are then shipped to Great Harvest's research & development bakery in Dillon, Montana.

Check them out, and take a look at my sourdough bread Web site. Great Harvest bakes a whole grain sourdough bread also, and sourdough has special nutrients in it, that when combined with whole grains, makes it a super food.
