Relooking at grains

Food is the third largest expense of the American Family. 80% of Americans say they want to choose food to improve their health not just to eat.

Brown Rice costs only about 10 cents for a full serving. This small about fills our body with nutrient rich folic acid, potassium and iron. People who chose this food item have a 34% reduced risk of high blood pressure, and 21% reduced risk of metabolic syndrome.

Our less used friend the Bean comes in at 7 cents a serving. The problem with them is that most of us just don't know what to do with them. But they are loaded with iron, zinc and folate. I have actually used these low cost items in baked goods after I ground them in my coffee grinder but you can find bean flours on the market today and they can be added as a thickener to soups, or a part of the flours that make your homemade bread.
