Q. I keep reading that we should be eating more whole grains. But what are they? My neighbor, who is a nutrition nut, says that whole wheat bread doesn’t really count as a whole grain.
A. Many of the wheat breads found in the supermarket contain a fair amount of white flour. Unless they are made only with whole wheat flour and wheat berries, they are not really whole grain foods. Here is a list of some whole grains to look for: barley, buckwheat, millet, oats, quinoa, brown rice, rye and wheat berries.
