Grains are the edible seeds of grass-like plants, essential to diets worldwide. Common types include wheat, rice, oats, barley, and corn, with origins spanning from ancient Mesopotamia to Asia and the Americas. Grains are rich in carbohydrates, providing energy, and contain valuable nutrients such as fiber, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and selenium. Whole grains, like brown rice and quinoa, retain their bran and germ, making them higher in fiber and beneficial for digestion, heart health, and sustained energy. Refined grains, such as white flour, have the bran and germ removed, reducing nutrient content and fiber but offering longer shelf life. While grains are a staple in many diets, moderation is key, as excessive consumption of refined grains can contribute to blood sugar spikes. Ideal for diverse cuisines, grains serve as a base for bread, pasta, cereals, and side dishes, making them versatile and integral to balanced nutrition globally.
