Beans and Legumes
Beans and legumes are popular because of their high protein levels and their soluble fiber, which improves cholesterol levels. They are an integral part of many popular dishes such as soups and stews.

Whole Grains, Ancient Grains, and Gluten-Free Grains
Because of their nutritional value and moderate prices, grains have long been a staple of the human diet. Particularly when the bran is retained, grains offer a variety of health benefits due to their natural fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Studies have shown that the consumption of whole grains can have many health benefits including a decrease in the risk of cancer, heart, and digestive problems.
Grains are a popular ingredient in vegetarian food alternatives such as veggie burgers.
They are low on the Glycemic Index, which makes them a popular choice for consumers with insulin-related health issues. Many of the ancient grains (including amaranth, rice, and quinoa) are 100% gluten free, so they are an excellent alternative for those with wheat and/or gluten sensitivities.
Grain ingredients should be free of impurities and have consistent coloration. Also, depending upon the type of grain, other considerations might include protein levels and/or a fresh, whole-grain aroma.
