NUTRIENT CONTENT TABLE - GRAINS

    The improtance of grains and sprouts and nutrients has been posted in my earlier posts. Grains has all  Essential Nutrients like Carbohydrates, Protiens, Energy, Calcium, Iron, Minerals.  We just need to know, which grain has which nutrient and of what quantity. Whole grains are loaded with vitamins and minerals, especially in the bran and germ, but these components are often removed when some grain products are processed, such as when wheat is processed into the white flour and brown rice is processed as white rice.

The bran is also loaded with soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps to lower the cholesterol level in the blood, and insoluble fiber is important for digestive health. Removal of these components from the grain is often attributed to the rise in many of the health problems associated with diets low in fiber. When grains and grain products (especially whole grains and whole-grain products) are combined with a balanced diet, they are one of the most important foods for providing proper nutrition.There are two types of grains of whihc type1 can be prepared as sprouts and the type2 can be eaten without making sprouts. Grains are composed primarily of carbohydrates, but the quantity varies according to the type of grain. Grains do not contain any saturated fat or cholesterol, which are linked to many health problems. Grains are a rich source of protein.

Type1 Grains are GreenGram, Black Eyed Beans, Wheat, Ragi/African Millet/Finger Millet, Pearl Millet, Chick Peas, Peas, Lentils or Red Lentils, Corn seeds and Cow Peas.  These grains can be prepared as Sprouts, of which nutrients gets doubled.

Type 2 Grains are also called as Dry Fruits like Walnuts, Almond, Pista, Cashew, Ground nuts, Soya beans
