sweet tooth
We talked about the different types of fiber in our last episode, and in our celebration of National Heart Month, we are moving on to discuss whole grains. The situation with whole grains is similar to fiber - we know they are good, but we just don't eat enough. Lorna Sass, author of Whole Grains For Busy People is here today to tell us tidbits about whole grains that every home cook should know about.

I don't quite get Lorna's first lengthy contribution after her introduction where whole grain is mentioned and that that isn't specific enough because it may only be 1%. In the same segement saying Whole Grain Flour..etc doesn't address the percent element. Should you look for Whole Grain Flour, Pita and the percent should be included?

Ross, I think she was talking about the claim "Made with Whole Grains". I see that all the time and I always wonder whether it's 100% whole grains of not. So Lorna said "Made with Whole Grains" may mean that it only has minute amounts of whole grains, not 100% whole grains.

I had to laugh when reading about millet. I used to buy it for my canaries, and my boyfriend likes to say that I eat it. Meaning of course, that I eat like a bird. Now I may start really eating like a bird!

'Eating like a bird' - I have never ever been accused of that Jennifer(ha) and Simona, what is "wholemeal"?

Since the 1st of the year,I stopped eating pancakes in an attempt to reduce my consumption of white flour. Now I am considering adding wheat germ to the flour I plan to bake with in the future. For example, I recently found a complete pancake mix made by Fiber one that I plan to bump up the amount of wheat the product already contains. Haven't started eating pancakes yet so I'm not sure if the taste or texture would change much after adding wheat germ, but we will see.

Esther, look for Ezekial Bread. Whole Foods and many health food stores carry it.
