What are organic grains?
People all over the world consume a wide variety of grains like wheat, oats, barley, corn and rice. Grains and legumes play an essential role in supplying us with our daily nutrients and more than 70% of our daily energy requirements. Organically grown grains retain a higher level of important nutrients like vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. It was also found that organic grains contain significantly fewer nitrates, which are a significant component of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Hence, they are less harmful than conventional crops. Organically growing crops and grains means no use of synthetically compounded fertilizers, pesticides or growth regulators. To the maximum extent possible, organic farming systems rely upon crop rotations, animal and green manures, off-farm organic wastes and biological pest control to maintain soil productivity to supply plants with nutrients and to control insects, weeds and other pests. So next time you crave some bread, don’t forget to bake some with organic grains and see the difference for yourself.
Benefits of going organic
The benefits of eating Organic can make a list so long that it can go around the planet twice. However, the question here is not of Organic fruits and vegetables but of Organic grains. Like mentioned earlier, grains like rice, wheat, corn and oats are staples in several countries. It’s given to little kids to build immunity and to older members of the community to build strength. When so much is at stake, you should make sure that your grains are Organically grown so that they retain their important nutrients. The lack of necessary components like vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus can lead to severe deficiencies that, in turn, lead to long-lasting health troubles. You don’t have to pop vitamin pills and taking artificial supplements. You can make sure your body gets its due from Organic produce. Like it’s meant to.
Go all the way: Ground and consume.
Grains do not spoil quickly and can be stored for long periods. So, next time you buy organically grown grains, take it one step further and try to make sure they are freshly ground. This will benefit you in two ways. One, you will be saved from buying adulterated flour from the marker. Two, the grinding removes the protective covering of the grain and can destabilize its nutritional qualities. Especially when stored for long periods. Freshly ground and consumed flour will retain all its natural goodness without exposing it to the elements. Imagine the smell of oven-baked bread from flour that has been newly grounded. Your whole house will smell like a festival, and your mind and body will thank you for looking out for them. Take care of your today, and your future will take care of itself, thanking you with joy and goodness of health in return.
