The USDA recommends that at least half of your grains are whole grains. Eating grains provides many health benefits. People who eat whole grains as a part of a healthy diet have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases such as heart disease, constipation, and some types of cancer. Grains also provide many nutrients that are vital for the health of our bodies. Grains provided dietary fiber which are important in healthy bowel function. Grains also provide several B Vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin which are important in metabolism and a healthy nervous system. Folate helps the body to form red blood cells and reduces the risk of neural tube defects, spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal development. Whole and enriched grain products also provide minerals such as non-heme iron which are important in carrying oxygen in our blood; magnesium, a mineral used in building bones and releasing energy from muscles; and selenium, a mineral that protects our cells from oxidation which is important in a healthy immune system. Below is a chart that demonstrates how much of the Grains Group we need each day.
Examples of an ounce of grain are one slice of bread, one cup of ready-to-eat cereal, one half cup of cooked rice, pasta or cereal. For more information on grains and the Grain Group, including recipes, visit ChooseMyPlate.gov.
