Delicious Ways To Add Whole Grain In The Diet

by Levi Barney Marketing Manager
It is a well-accepted fact that whole grain is a healthier option as compared to other finely milled grains. This is because, in whole grain, all three vital components are kept intact i.e. germ, endosperm and bran. They contain all the necessary fibres, minerals, vitamins and other essential nutrients in abundance for good health.   

But the million-dollar question is that how to include this goodness of health in the diet to reap maximum benefits.   

We have got some tips from experts bakers from wholegrain bread suppliers in Melbourne about ways to add whole grain to your diet.

  1. Instead of choosing products made of refined all-purpose flour, choose bread, cereals, bagels and crackers made of whole grain. You can have a nice sandwich in lunch or a whole wheat pita bread or wrap made up of wholemeal, granary, mixed grain, or wheat germ.
  2. Who does not love popcorn? Eat low-fat popcorn for snacks. Make sure they are not pre-popped or loaded with butter, sugar and salt. Keep it simple and healthy.
  3. Choose snacks prepared from whole grain instead of milled and refined. It is important because we can have one-third of the required whole-grain consumption through snacks. So good opinions would be rye crackers, oatcakes, whole grain rice cakes. Also, avoid buying snacks with high amounts of fat, sodium and calories even if made from whole grain.
  4. Start your day with a hearty whole-grain cereal breakfast. It will keep you satiated for a longer time. But make sure you select the right product. Don’t go for the artificially sweetened pack. Check the label that says 100% whole grain. Look for more options with wholegrain bread suppliers.
  5. Switching to a healthy diet doesn’t mean turning away from sweets for good. You can make your favourite dessert using whole grain flour or mix whole grain flour with all-purpose flour and make cake, pastries and pies. A much healthier option and a fantastic way to incorporate whole grains into the diet without compromising on taste. 
  6. For lunch, you can go for brown rice and whole wheat or blended pasta. You can cook brown rice and freeze it in batches for 4-5 days. It is a good ready-to-use option for later use. Also, you can choose pasta made with a mix of whole grain and refined flour. Though it will be of dark colour when cooked, the colour will be much lighter. 
  7. This one is especially for kids. It is especially difficult to entice kids with regular food options. So you need to be smart enough to add these health-filled whole grains in the crust of their cheese pizzas, use whole wheat burger buns, add barley to their soups and vegetables.

So, don’t limit yourself to using whole grains through bread only. Open up the chest of creativity, check out other whole-grain products available at whole-grain bread suppliers in Melbourne and come up with various ways to incorporate these healthy grains into the diet of loved ones and you filling their life with health and taste.
