Chapter Summaries

Grain products are made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley, and other grains. Grains especially whole grains, provide important nutrients and health benefits. Many grains fit in meals and snacks. Cooking changes starch in grain, making it soft and easier to digest. Food labels and unit prices help you spot whole grain and enriched grain products. Store grain products for freshness. Use the right amount of liquid and time listed on the package or recipe when cooking. Grain products are also used in baking.
