PROPERTIES

• Cereals offer many benefits as part of a healthy diet. Wheat is the oldest and most cultivated cereal in the world. The most important thing is that its grains contain the five basic nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Its grains have a husk or shell (bran), formed by six distinct layers, which are rich in cellulose, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium (helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, prevents tooth decay and osteoporosis), fluorine, and B-complex vitamins. In addition, its interior contains the germ or embryo, which contains proteins, crude fiber, oils, vitamin E, and B. The mineral content is higher in whole grain varieties and includes zinc, selenium, iodine, potassium, and small amounts of magnesium, iron, calcium, and sodium. Organic whole grain wheat does not contain many saturated fats or cholesterol, making its consumption prevent possible heart conditions. It is also a great regulator of blood sugar levels, making it suitable for people with diabetes. Lastly, it contains a large amount of fiber, which is important in cases of constipation.

PREPARATION

• Organic whole grain wheat can be used in dishes similar to rice. It is important to note that it is a hard grain and should be soaked overnight. To cook it, add one part wheat to four parts water with a little salt and cook for 1.5 hours in a conventional pot. It can be mixed, for example, with legumes, vegetables, rice, etc.
