Rye, Barley, and Buckwheat - are used for flour
Kernel of Wheat
__________
Parts of the Grain• ________________- outside covering of the grain and consists
of several layers. • ___________________is not digested, acts as a natural laxative
and is sometimes called the “scrub brush” for the intestine, helping to keep the body regular. (fiber, B vitamins, minerals, protein)
• ___________________ - is the inner white portion. (complex carbohydrates, proteins, NO vitamins and minerals)
• ________________- found at one end of the kernel, is the sprouting part from which a new part grows. (B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, zinc, other minerals, unsaturated fat)
Wheat Cont…• _________________Wheat: used for flour• _________________Wheat: type of wheat with
high protein and gluten contents
• _______________is known as the staff of life because of its availability around the world. It is a staple food because of its good keeping quality, high energy value and their relatively low cost.
What’s a Whole Grain?
• Whole Grains: Made from _______________kernel including bran, germ, endosperm.
• Refined grains: Milled so germ and bran are ______________________.
• Enriched: _________________nutrients lost during the processing of the grain back into the finished product – ex. White flour.
Why do Whole Grains Matter?• Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods,
and low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may help reduce the risk of __________________disease
• Consuming at least 3 or more ounce-equivalents of whole grains per day can reduce the risk of several chronic diseases and may help with _______________ maintenance
– High fiber -High in B Vitamins– Low fat -Rich Sources of Minerals– More calcium
Pasta

PASTA Continued…• Pasta is usually made from ___________________wheat
because of its high protein and gluten.
• Pasta __________________as it cooks. 1 cup uncooked pasta will yield 2 cups cooked.
• To Cook:• Boil a large pot of water• Add pasta once boiling• Cook 10 minutes• Drain• Toss with oil to prevent it from sticking together
Barley• Barley contains
________eight amino acids
• According to a recent study, eating whole grain barley can regulate blood sugar for up to 10 hours after consumption
Oats•Oats contain more soluble _______________than any other grain, resulting in slower digestion and an extended sensation of fullness

Less Popular Grains
Less Popular Grains
___________: Commonly made into flour for rye bread
• Triticale: hybrid grain that is a cross between wheat and rye
Uncommon Grains
___________________• Seeds that are covered
in bitterness preventing insect/bird damage
• High protein content (12-18%); complete protein (balanced set of amino acids)
_______________•Larger seed size in comparison to wheat
•Contains 30-40% more protein than wheat
Uncommon Grains
_____________________• have a 30% higher protein value than other cereals, such as
rice, wheat flour, oats, and rye • Contains a complete protein and a high amount of manganese
____________________• contains no gluten; • is not related to wheat
– Kasha: roasted buckwheat that’s ground or cracked
Processing Grains• __________: whole grain minus
the hull
• __________: ground into fine powder
• Rolled = Flaked: flattened between rollers
• _________: cut into small pieces to speed up cooking time
• _______________: bran removed and tumbled
Basic Categories of Rice
• ____________Grain Rice- Long, polished kernels. Bland and somewhat firm in texture. Yields a drier, fluffy rice. – Ex. Basmati and Jasmine
• _______________Grain Rice- has a shorter, wider kernel (two to three times longer than its width) than long grain rice. Cooked grains are more moist and tender, and have a greater tendency to cling together than long grain. – Ex. Sushi Rice
• _______________Grain Rice- Short grain rice has a short, plump, almost round kernel. Cooked grains are soft and cling together. – Ex. Arborio Rice
Nutritional Differences of Rice
• ______________Rice- the whole grain form of rice with only the husk removed
• ________________Rice- steam was passed through the grains with the husks on. The nutrients are embedded into the grain by this procedure. The rice is polished after this steaming is done. This results in more nutritious rice than white rice and more digestible rice than brown rice.
• ________________Rice- Precooked and dehydrated, cooks quickly and the yield is doubled.
Cooking Rice
• Double the amount of water for rice. (1:2 ratio) 1. Bring water to boil. 2. Add and stir in rice. 3. Turn heat to low and put on lid. 4. Cook for 20-25 minutes (parboiled) 45-1hr (brown rice). 5. Rice is done if no water is visible. 6. Fluff with a fork.
• Rice _____________________as it cooks. 1 cup uncooked rice yields 3 cups of cooked rice.
