Whole Grains Whole grain, the staple of most diets worldwide, offers the benefit of long-term storage because of its low-moisture content and hard husks. Most grains are made of starch, and consist of 75% carbohydrates. The starch contains 25% of the amylose, with sweet rice and corn containing mostly amylopectin. Grain also consists of 10% protein and 2-3% fat (mostly unsaturated fatty acid). The embryo bud contains antioxidant vitamins E and B, essential for carbohydrate metabolism. Grains also contain a good amount of phosphorus and potassium.

Brown Rice

Brown rice, which only has its exterior-most chaff removed, differs greatly in nutritional value from white rice, which consists only of the rice albumen. Rice chaff contains vitamin B1, effective in preventing beriberi, plus other vitamins, carbohydrates, protein, lipids, minerals, and fiber. Brown rice contains four times more fiber and vitamin B1 content than white rice, and two times more lipids, phosphorus, and iron. The nutritional value of an embryo bud, the life of the rice itself, is important. Embryo buds contain vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, and E, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, folic acid, vegetable protein, and such vegetable oils and fats as linolic acid and linolenic acid. It is a perfect food. A lot of the antioxidant vitamin E prevents body cells from aging and helps maintain reproductive functions.

Sorghum Sorghum consists mostly of starch (76.5%) and protein (8.5%). It's better to eat sorghum with its chaff, which contains a large amount of vitamin B. Sorghum helps prevent circulatory disease, increases appetites, and helps develop and maintain bone structure.
