Grain and cereal foods provide B vitamins, vitamin E, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, selenium, dietary fibre and small amounts of iron and protein, also using low fat spreads such as relish, pickle or hummus. It’s worth remembering that carbs such as wholegrain breads and cereals delay absorption of glucose from the foods we eat, enabling release of energy into the blood stream which can also help those seeking to control their weight and provides satiety.
