Grains are very good for you!
In a little less than a cup, most grains are loaded with essential polyphenols, fiber, more than 10 percent of your daily requirement for protein, plus various B vitamins, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium and more.
Here are our how-to-get-grain-on-your-table tips.
1. Add quinoa to a salad, along with blueberries, walnuts and baby kale.
2. Cook up a homemade chicken soup with barley or brown rice.
3. What’s breakfast without a bowl of steel-cut oatmeal, almonds, raisins or cranberries and steamed low-fat almond milk?
4. Sorghum? Amaranth? Try them as popcorn. That’s right. Go to YouTube and check out some easy-to-follow instructions.
5. Buckwheat makes soba noodles — so tasty in a miso broth, veggie soup or al dente with a bit of wasabi, soy and ginger.
6. Whole-grain farro should be soaked overnight before cooking. Then use it to make risotto (Giada De Laurentiis has a great recipe), or it can be added to soups.
7. Millet: It’s not just for birdseed! Try cooking it for dinner, like rice or risotto, or serving for breakfast as a hot cereal.
