What Is Grain?

According to dictionaries, Grain is; -
  1. a relatively small granular partial of a substance
  2. food stuff prepared from the starchy grains of cereal grasses
  3. small, hard and dry seeds






Kinds of Grain

Grain helps your brain as we believed, and it is still true. However we cannot neglect one element of grain – carbohydrates. For a long time scientists and food resource researchers represented endless and different insistence. For weight trainers and diabetic people the carbohydrate is one of ‘must be away’ source. Grain is main supplier of carbohydrates, it builds our body, give us energy and harms at same time. Scientific American dot com strongly insisted that Whole –grain foods are Not Always Healthful. Then let us see what kinds of grain we eat.

Cereal grains; contain much starch, a carbohydrate that supplies dietary energy to our body
Pea grains ; have higher protein than other plat foods
Oil seeds grains
Vegetable oils ; supply dietary energy



Conclusion

We cannot avoid ourselves from grain because it is involved in almost of our main meals. By the way some of carbohydrate is very important for our life. Therefore I recommend this opinion of Harvard School of Public Health.

“The quality of the carbohydrates you eat is at least as important as the quantity”

Yacon is commonly grown in the Northern and Central Andes. It is called ‘Peruvian ground apple’, and called ‘Jicama’ in Ecuador. The roots are composed of fluent water and fructooligossaccharides. As the name says this plant is sweet and juicy. (fructo- oligos- saccharides) Fructoologossaccharides taste sweet and have pro-biotic effect. Leaves are weak violet, and ivory roots are bigger than sweet potatoes.

 The juicy root supplies a beverage source. There are two kinds of its product – Yacon syrup and Yacon tea. These are popular among diabetic people and dieters.

written by Amira Lee

History of Tofu Whether you are vegetarian or not, Tofu is very much attractive meal item. Because it can be mixed with others well, and can be complete dish alone. As you know Tofu comes from Asia. People there have used it since centuries ago. Asia where has heavy rain and fluent green farms was ideal continent for their residents. By the way all countries were divided by monarchies and nobles. They have occupied all good things, and have fought to have more and more. People who have lived under their rules were suffered by poverty, hunger, taxes and duties. Rulers have called their people, people have had to go to fight anytime. The rich have became more richer, the poor have became more poorer. Tofu is needed lot of green beans, however it could replace on real meat. Long ago ordinary –but poor – people would suppose to eat Tofu for their celebrities and memorial days instead of meat which was taken by only monarchies, nobles and riches.
