9. Grains • Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley or another cereal grain is a grain product. Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits are examples of grain products. • Grains are divided into 2 subgroups, Whole Grains and Refined Grains. • Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel ― the bran, germ, and endosperm. • Examples include: • whole-wheat flour • bulgur (cracked wheat) • oatmeal • whole cornmeal • brown rice

10. Grains • Refined grains have been milled, a process that removes the bran and germ. This is done to give grains a finer texture and improve their shelf life, but it also removes dietary fiber, iron, and many B vitamins. • Some examples of refined grain products are: • white flour • de-germed cornmeal • white bread • white rice • Most refined grains are enriched. This means certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron are added back after processing. Fiber is not added back to enriched grains. Check the ingredient list on refined grain products to make sure that the word "enriched" is included in the grain name.

11. Examples of Grains Whole Grains • amaranth • brown rice • buckwheat • bulgur (cracked wheat) • millet • oatmeal • popcorn • rolled oats • quinoa • sorghum • triticale • whole grain barley • whole grain cornmeal • whole rye • whole wheat bread • whole wheat crackers • whole wheat pasta • whole wheat sandwich buns and rolls • whole wheat tortillas • wild rice Refined Grains • cornbread* • corn tortillas* • couscous* • crackers* • flour tortillas* • grits • noodles* • pitas* • pretzels • white bread • white sandwich buns and rolls • white rice • Pastas • spaghetti • macaroni • Ready-to-eat breakfast cereals • corn flakes

12. Healthful Tips • Make at least half of your grains whole grains. • In general, 1 slice of bread, 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal, or ½ cup of cooked rice, cooked pasta, or cooked cereal can be considered as 1 ounce equivalent from the Grains Group. • Eating whole grains may help with weight management.

13. Proteins • All foods made from meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, processed soy products, nuts, and seeds are considered part of the Protein Foods Group. Beans and peas are also part of the Vegetable Group. • Select a variety of protein foods to improve nutrient intake and health benefits, including at least 8 ounces of cooked seafood per week.

15. Healthful Tips • The leanest beef cuts include round steaks and roasts ,top loin, top sirloin, and chuck shoulder and arm roasts. • Trim away all of the visible fat from meats and poultry before cooking. • Boneless skinless chicken breasts and turkey cutlets are the leanest poultry choices. • Choose lean turkey, roast beef, ham, or low-fat luncheon meats for sandwiches instead of luncheon/deli meats with more fat, such as regular bologna or salami.

16. Dairy • All fluid milk products and many foods made from milk are considered part of this food group. Most Dairy Group choices should be fat-free or low-fat. • Foods made from milk that have little to no calcium, such as cream cheese, cream, and butter.

17. Healthful Tips • Intake of dairy products is linked to improved bone health, and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. • The intake of dairy products is especially important to bone health during childhood and adolescence, when bone mass is being built. • Intake of dairy products is also associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and with lower blood pressure in adults.
