Help Yourself to Whole Grains

Grains should be in their "whole" form and not be refined.

• Experiment with quinoa as a side dish for weeknight meals.
• Barley is full of fibre and filling. Add mushrooms for a satisfying soup.
• Oatmeal is perfect for breakfast.
• Even popcorn is a whole grain. Keep it healthy by eating air-popped corn and drizzling olive oil on instead of butter.
• Supplement with whole-grain products like whole-wheat bread and pasta. The term "whole grain" should be the first ingredient on the food package.
• If you find the switch too difficult, mix whole-grain with refined half-and-half.
