Simple Whole Grain Recipes
Cook
one or more whole grain recipes every day. For successful weight
loss, be sure your recipes use intact whole grains. What exactly are
intact whole grains?
Eating whole grains
They are grains that we cook and eat in their original round or oval
shape. They are not polished, refined, or ground into flour. They are
chewy and filling. They have a low calorie density because they
contain fiber and water.
Whole grains are high in vitamin E and most of the B vitamins. They
have been a staple food for our species since our
ancient ancestors first started growing plants. Cooking with whole
grains is fun and easy. Here are three basic recipes to get you started:
Speedy Oatmeal Recipe.
We almost always eat whole grains for breakfast, and oatmeal is our
favorite.
We add frozen berries or fresh fruit in season. Don't forget a tablespoon of freshly ground flax seed.
How to Cook Brown Rice. Our
brown rice never burns. It doesn't turn into starchy clumps when it is
cold. You can reheat it in the microwave or by pouring boiling water
over it. It is perfect every time. Try it!
How to Cook Millet.
This easy millet recipe makes a light and fluffy breakfast cereal. Add
diced vegetables and balsamic dressing for a grain salad. Top it with
chili or vegetable stew for a healthy dinner.
