How can you encourage your child to eat more whole grains? Here are some delicious suggestions.
At least half of your child’s intake of grains should be in the form of whole grains, according to the Malaysian Dietary Guidelines for Children and Adolescents by the Health Ministry.Some examples of whole grains are rice, wheat, corn or oats. A grain is considered a “whole grain” if the three parts that form its core is still intact, as per its natural state, while it is harvested.
Brown rice, wheat, oats, corn and barley are some common examples of whole grains. These whole grains are used to make all kinds of grain-based foods, such as noodles, pasta, crackers, breads and cereals. You will notice many of these whole grain items in the grocery store. Whole grains also provide lasting energy for active, growing children. They contribute more vitamins and minerals to your child’s daily diet, compared to foods made from refined grains only. It also provides more dietary fibre, which is essential for good digestive health and the prevention of constipation.
Most people hold a common misconception that children will not like whole grains but truth be told, children form a liking for foods they are exposed to and are most familiar with. > Instead of refined noodles, use whole grain noodles or pasta in your child’s favourite noodles or pasta dish.
