Grain Products
Healthy Eating - Grain Products
Grain products, particularly whole grains, are a source of fibre and typically are low in fat. Fibre rich foods can help people feel full and satisfied. The grain products food group is represented with a prominent arc in the rainbow on Canada's Food Guide. This means that, relative to some other food groups, a large number of Food Guide Servings is recommended. Grain products include all grains, cereals, pasta, rice, and products made with grain flour (including corn flour).
Did You know?
In the cooking process, heat and water destroy some of the vitamin C and beta carotene so eat at least some of your produce raw. To minimize nutrient losses, steaming or microwave cooking are the best methods.
