Grains are basically the edible seeds of certain grasses (in a nutshell). Without the nuts! So, anyway some examples of such grains are wheat, rice, oats, corn, barley, millet, rye, spelt just to name a few or most of them. There are some grains referred to as “pseudo-grains” such as quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth. These are technically seeds so I know the people that follow a grain free diet generally stay away from these as well.

The base of the pyramid, which was the biggest section, was covered with colorful drawings of cereal, bread and a loaded plate of pasta. Yummy!

It placed grains at the base of the pyramid (the largest section), with veggies and fruits on the next largest section. These were the foods that we were supposed to consume most of all.
