Popular comfort foods like white bread and white rice may have limited health benefits. Whole grains, such as whole-wheat bread and brown rice, can be a healthier choice and provide the same great taste.
Wheat bulgur, lentils, and quinoa are also excellent alternatives as they are rich in protein. Inflammatory effects are commonly associated with refined grains, whereas whole grains can help lower the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Moreover, whole grains are packed with essential minerals, B vitamins, and fiber. Additionally, bread with whole seeds earns extra credit.
