5.Whole Grains Can Be Gluten-Free
If you need to avoid gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, you can still eat whole grains. Look for quinoa, millet, buckwheat, and amaranth instead. Even if you don’t have gluten problems, try a variety of whole grains, such as brown rice, wild rice, bulgur wheat, oatmeal, and spelt. Each offers different nutrients.
