Growing in the open fields are many flowers and plants. Inside the plant, seeds grow big and strong. Each seed is considered to be called a "Kernel." Within every seed, there are three parts. Those three parts of the seed are responsible for giving us Antioxidants, Phytonutrients, Fiber, Proteins, Starchy Carbs, Minerals, Vitamin B, & Other Vitamins. A Whole Grain is the entire seed of a plant. Whole Grains are found in many things we all enjoy eating. From breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even some snacks! It has been recommended to have a serving of Whole Grains, daily. Here's a few items to look for, the next time you're going grocery shopping:
