Recommended Power Foods - Part 8 - Grains #7 & #8
(Information from The Power of Food - Bonnie Raffel R. D., Author)
#7 - Wild Rice - Wild rice is not a true grain,
but is a type of edible grass. Wild rice
provides protein, B vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The darker the grain the more bran is
intact. Add wild rice to soups, bread
stuffing, or mix together brown and wild rice and cook as a side dish.
#8 - Amaranth - This is a tiny seed that
contains all of the essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Amaranth flour contains more fiber and iron
than wheat flour, and also provides calcium.
It can be found in the form of flakes and flour, and can be combined
with other flours for baking.
