Daily Health Tips update for January 30:Looking for ideas to make your family’s meals healthier? Instead of just switching from white rice to plain brown rice, add variation with these healthy alternatives.
- Wild Rice. Technically classified as a grass, wild rice has a nuttier taste and a firmer, chewier texture than white or brown rice.
- Kasha. Also called roasted buckwheat groats, try mixing kasha instead of breadcrumbs into turkey or other meat to make meatloaf.
- Quinoa. A protein-rich seed, quinoa delivers twice as much protein as other grains, along with iron and magnesium.
- Bulgur. Loaded with fiber, bulgur cooks quickly, making it a great alternative when you’re pressed for time. Blend it with mint, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper for a Middle Eastern style salad.
- Barley. This grain has the same type of fiber found in oatmeal. But when you’re shopping, make sure to buy the “hulled” variety.
- Whole Wheat Couscous. Regular couscous isn’t a whole grain, so be sure to get the whole wheat type. This grain is a good base since it easily takes on any flavor you add.
