What is a Grain Product?

Foods that are made or derived from barley, cornmeal, oats, rice, wheat, or another cereal grain are considered a grain product. The foodstuffs most readily identified, as grain products are grits, cereals, tortillas, bread, pasta, and oatmeal and breakfast cereals.

Grains can be divided into two subcategories:

Whole grains (whole wheat bread/crackers/cereal flakes, oatmeal, brown rice, popcorn) Refined grains (white bread, cornbread, cornflakes, flour tortillas, white rice)
