5 Whole Grains Recommended by Nutritionists

3. Whole-Wheat Couscous
There are lots of packages of couscous that look like pasta. Read the label and you’ll notice that almost all of them are made from refined wheat flour. The best place to purchase the right type of couscous is a natural-food store. As a matter of fact, refined versions of the food contain less fiber so they are not the healthiest.

4. Corn
One of the healthiest species of whole grains is the whole-grain corn. Corn is rich in vitamins B, phosphorus and magnesium. If you consume whole corn, you dramatically increase the good flora in your intestines. If your gut is healthy, you decrease the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, chronic inflammation. The amount of antioxidants is higher in yellow corn so eat popcorn that does not contain harmful chemicals that are usually put in microwavable popcorn. We recommend all people should opt for organic kinds of popcorn kernels. Prepare the food at home in a paper bag using a microwave. You can pop your corn on the stovetop too. Pay attention that almost half of the corn cultivated in the USA is treated with pesticides or genetically modified.
