Any input on good quality gluten free bread that also fits the description of Mediterranean diet kind of whole grains? Does anything like this exist?
The ingredients list on my rice cakes says “Whole grain brown rice”. Does this mean the food carries all the benefits that whole grain brown rice does? Or does the processing make it like any other refined grain (eg, high...

Hello! How is everyone doing? I want to talk about whole grains! I read that they have many benefits and are specially recommended for cardiovascular and digestive health. What I want to know is if those benefits (especially for cardiovascular health) are only because...

The difference between refined carbohydrates like white rice and brown rice is the fiber and maybe some protein that is added to the rice in brown rice? And the main consideration is the glycemic effect? So like, if one were...

We know refined/processed grains have less fiber than whole grains/pseudo-grains. But such data is not readily available for legumes (to my knowledge). Legumes are one of the best sources of fiber, but I haven't been able to find if dehulled/deskinned...
When looking for calorie counts of grains, I often come across dry and cooked values. Often times a source will provide a value for a 1/4 cup grain, stating that this is equivalent for 1 cup cooked. This doesn’t seem...
This was something my mother always told me. "Dairy + legume + grain" but now i"m reading that all you need are the grains and the legumes. What's the actual science here?
