Grains are the seeds

Some are as small
as a new baby ant!

But when you learn more
and you get the whole scoop,

youllfindtheyreaHUGEandimportantfoodgroup.

This edible crop
may be starchy or grassy.

A grain can be wholesome
or twisted
or classy.

Howmuchshouldyoueat?

Well, in case you are tested:
five to six ounces
each day is suggested.

The two types of grains
are called whole and refined.
Lets look at them both,
so youll know either kind.

Whole grains include
all the parts of the kernel

endosperm

bran

germ

thenaturalstate,bothoutsideandinternal.

Popcorn is whole grain.

And sos
wild rice,

oatmeal, and
buckwheat,

soheedthisadvice:

whetherinwholewheatpastas

or rolls ,

in the course of each day,
half your grains
should be whole.

Whole grains are found
in some cereals too.

Muesl , bran ,

and whole wheat are a few.

Theyre loaded with fiber
a friend to your body.
They help you digest food
and make you go potty.

Foods high in fiber
are also quite good
at helping your heart
to do all that it should.

Eating whole grains
each and every day thrice

may help fight heart problems.

So pass the brown rice !

The other grain type

is whats known as refined.

That white bread and white rice

onwhichyouhavedined?

Theyre part of that group,
like enriched rigatoni,
grits,
crackers,
corn bread,

and most macaroni.

Sometimes,theeveningbeforeabigmeet,

a long-distance runner
will sit down to eat.

Inhisorherbowl,

pastas filled to the brim.

This helps boost endurance
for her or for him.

Foryoutobe

truly an expert on grain,

there are cereal facts
that youll need to retain.

Some grains come from oats -

some from wheat , rice , or corn .

Sometimes theyre flaked,
others, puffy when formed.

Breads are another
main part of this group,

whetherusedforyoursandwich

or dipped in your soups

On whole wheat

or white bread,

refinedgrainorwhole,

when it comes to this food group,
breads play a big roll.

Andhowaboutcrackers?

They come from a grain
that grows from the soil
and is fed by the rain.

That grain grows in sunlight
in rows on a field.

And ends up in crackers
all boxed up and sealed.

You may find your grains
in a food that is crispy,

curly, or crunchy,

so light that its wispy.
