Grains are the most important fuel for your body.  They are complex carbohydrates (sometimes called starches) that provide you with lots of energy as well as vitamins, minerals and fibre.  Grains are the seeds of grasses but you don’t need to eat grass!  You can find grains in foods like breads, rice, cereals & pasta.  These foods are one of the largest wedges of the food pyramid and eating six servings every day will help you to stay healthy!
