Multigrain is NOT necessarily whole grain
Look for 100% whole grain in order to get all the nutrients from the grain, including fiber. If there are several grain varieties, each should be a whole grain.

Why do chips and puffs rate so low?
Chips and puffs rate low even if they don't contain the typical "red flags" in food, such as artificial colors or trans fats. Chips and puffs generally have little nutritional value for the amount of fat and sodium they carry.

Magnificent millet!
Millet is a group of grasses that produce small seeds (the part we eat). They grow in the harsh environments of Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Archaeologist suspect that millet was cultivated more than rice in prehistoric Asia! And because of its natural reliance in drought, it's an environmentally friendly seed. Yep, while we might eat it like a grain, millet is technically a seed. Millet is a great source of minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, B vitamins. It also has fiber and calcium, which differ by variety. Following a gluten free diet? You're in luck. Millet is a good way to get whole grains without gluten. Millet-based breads, snacks or even just the grain alone are a fantastic way to avoid gluten without relying on nutrient deficient flours or starches (like corn). HOW TO COOK MILLET: To cook plain millet, add 3 parts water for every one part millet and cook it as you would rice. Use in casseroles, baked dishes or mix with dried fruits and nuts for a tasty side. For a break from hot oatmeal, try millet. Take 1 part millet, 2 parts water, 1 part milk, a spoon of honey, a dash of salt and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Roast the millet in butter until it begins to brown slightly, then add the rest of the ingredients. Boil until the millet is soft, which can vary by the size of your millet. And most importantly, enjoy!

Pita chips. Worse than potato chips?
Pita chips have got to be healthier than potato chips, right? Wrong. Pita chips, despite their exotic name, are nutritionally quite poor. They're slightly lower in fat compared to potato chips, but made from refined carbs, and carry excessive sodium. Unlike potato chips that contain some potassium and vitamin C, pita chips are nutrient barren. If you're looking for a healthier alternative to potato chips, try veggie chips, bean chips, corn chips or skip chips altogether. When choosing a chip snack, look for chips that offer actual nutrients.
