We’ve all heard it: A diet rich in whole grains may help reduce your risk of heart disease. In fact, many foods now come with whole grain. But beware. Some foods labeled “whole grain” only contain a small amount of the ingredient. To spot the real deal (and all its healthy benefits), make sure the food is labeled “100% whole grain” before putting it in your cart. Whole grain foods and flours include 100% whole wheat, brown rice, bulgur, corn, buckwheat, oatmeal, spelt, and wild rice.
