"What is a cereal grain variant?"
A cereal grain variant is a type of cereal grain from which inedible parts have been removed. Based on the degree of fragmentation, it can be classified into: – grains – whole grains devoid of husks; – broken grains – grains that have been stripped of husks and broken into parts; – polished, previously broken grains. Groch is obtained from barley, wheat, rye, oats, rice, and corn. Rice is also included in the category of cereal products. Cereal products, including groch, should constitute a significant portion of the daily diet. The Institute of Food and Nutrition recommends that cereal products should be the main components of most meals, and that whole grain products from whole grain flour should be chosen most often. The recommended amount of cereal products to be consumed depends on individual energy needs.
A nutritional treasure trove
What makes Kass so valuable? The whole grain kasche contains the entire spectrum of valuable nutrients such as magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, B vitamins, and vitamin E. This helps to prevent such conditions as concentration deterioration, brittle hair and nails, irritation, insomnia, muscle cramps, and flaky skin. Kasche is also rich in dietary fiber, which has a positive effect on its low glycemic index. The slow release of carbohydrates into the bloodstream after a meal ensures a longer feeling of satiety. Fiber also lowers the level of so-called bad cholesterol and reduces the risk of developing gallstones. Kasche also contains a certain amount of plant protein, and oats are a particularly good source of amino acids. It is a source of rutin, a flavonoid with antioxidant properties that also seals blood vessels and prevents inflammation of the veins. Kasche is an unprocessed product and therefore does not contain preservatives or flavor enhancers.
Health advantages of consuming grains
Regular consumption of grains can protect against overweight and obesity, constipation, hemorrhoids, gallbladder stones, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, and elevated cholesterol levels. Due to the potassium and magnesium content, grain consumption is beneficial for people with high blood pressure, as these ingredients help maintain normal blood pressure. Grains also contain folic acid, which is essential for the development of the neural tube in the fetus, so it is worth consuming them during pregnancy. The low glycemic index of grains such as buckwheat and barley promotes the maintenance of the appropriate glucose level in the blood in people with diabetes and insulin resistance. Therefore, there is no reason to be afraid, let's eat grains for health!
