| One thing that really gets my goat is when people disparage
a gluten free diet by saying we dont consume enough whole
grains. First of all, the majority of Americans do not eat
enough whole grains it is a common flaw in the Standard
American Diet (SAD) so why pick on the gluten intolerant?
Second of all, I personally think that people who follow a
gluten free diet are much more health savvy than the average
Joe or Jane and we probably do eat more whole grains than
most. But that is just my opinion and unfortunately no one
really asks me my opinion! One thing I do know for sure is that the main streaming of gluten free has resulted in an abundance of processed gluten free foods in the marketplace and our diet can now replicate the Standard American Diet much more closely than ever before. This has its advantages but also its drawbacks, one of which, being a diet that can be higher in refined grains than in whole grains. The health benefits of eating a diet rich in whole grains are plenty and they include a lowered risk of stroke, heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes as well as better weight management and bettering blood pressure levels. Ok, great.. but what is a whole grain? A whole grain is defined as a grain that includes the bran, germ and endosperm as opposed to a refined grain in which the bran and germ have been removed in processing. Whole grains you want to look for on a gluten free diet include Amaranth, Buckwheat, Corn, Millet, Quinoa, Brown Rice, Sorghum and Teff. Personally I like to sneak whole grains into things where is not expected and as always, I like to keep things as simple as possible. This gluten free recipe is made with superfine brown rice flour and Solo Foods Poppy Seed Cake and Pastry Filling making it whole grain, super simple and super yummy! I think this quick bread recipe demonstrates that we gluten free not only can get plenty of whole grains in our diet but that we do it deliciously!
