Food Grains

Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain which is a worldwide staple food. The many species of wheat together make up the genus Triticum; the most widely grown is common wheat.

Wheat, used for white bread, pastries, pasta, and pizza, has been the principal cereal crop since the 18th century. Wheat was introduced by the first English colonists and quickly became the main cash crop of farmers who sold it to urban populations and exporters.

In addition to being a major source of starch and energy, wheat also provides substantial amounts of a number of components which are essential or beneficial for health, notably protein, vitamins (notably B vitamins), dietary fiber, and phytochemicals.

Soybeans are legumes related to peas, clover and alfalfa. Soybeans are dicots, which means they have two cotyledons. Each soybean plant produces 60 to 80 pods, each holding three pea-sized beans. Soybeans are hardy plants and well adapted to a variety of soils and soil conditions.

Soy contains a high concentration of essential amino acids and is the main source of protein in our global food supply. Soy production has more than doubled over the last two decades.

An extensive analysis of the research in this area concluded that there is a significant association between soy consumption and lower prostate cancer risk. So don't listen to the naysayers who say that soy is not a good food for you. The evidence well and truly indicates that soy foods are 'soy' good for us.
