Chapter One

Grains Group

What is a Grain?

A grain is a single seed of cereal grass. Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley, or another cereal grain is a grain product. Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits are examples of grain products.

There are two types of grains:

Whole Grains:

Whole grain examples are oatmeal, brown rice, and whole wheat flour.

Refined Grains:

Refined grain examples are white rice, white bread, and white flour.

Some grains grown in the U.S. are pictured below.

Why do I need grains?

Grains add delicious taste and variety to meals and are an important source of energy for the body. They also provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber to keep the body strong and healthy.

How much do I need?

The amount of grain you need depends on your age, gender, and physical activity. The portions below are recommended with thirty minutes or more each day of physical activity beyond your normal daily activities.

Children 4-8 years old = 4-5 ounces daily

Girls 9-13 years old = 5 ounces daily

Boys 9-13 years old = 6 ounces daily

At least half of all grains eaten should be whole grains. Below are some examples of 1-ounce portion sizes.

1 regular slice of bread

5 whole-wheat crackers

1/2 cup of whole-wheat pasta or 1 cup of cereal

1/2 cup cooked rice

Vegetables Group

A vegetable is any plant whose fruit, seeds, roots, bulbs, stems, leaves, or flower parts are used as food, such as the tomato, bean, potato, onion, spinach, and broccoli.

Vary Your Veggies. Go dark green and orange with your veggies. Eat spinach, broccoli, carrots, and sweet potatoes.

Fruits Group

What is a fruit?

A fruit is similar to a vegetable in that it's any product that comes from a plant and is useful to humans and animals. The difference between veggies and fruits is that fruits are products of flowers and usually develop as a result of a flower being pollinated. However, some plants develop fruit without fertilization, and these fruits are seedless.

I am small brown food. My outside feels fuzzy. I am green inside and have tiny black seeds. What am I? (Kiwi)

How do fruits grow?

There are three categories, as illustrated below; some fruits are grown from a bush, some are grown from trees, and others are grown from vines.

Bush Tree Vine

Blueberries Bananas Grapes Raspberries Grapefruit Pumpkins Pomegranates Pears Strawberries Blackberries Peaches Cantaloupes Apples Kiwis Cherries

I am long and yellow, and I grow in bunches on a tree. I am soft inside. You don't eat my outside. I taste sweet and yummy. What am I? (Banana)

How much fruit should I eat a day?

As always, it depends on your age, gender, and physical activity. The portions below are recommended with thirty minutes or more each day of physical activity beyond your normal daily activities.

Serving sizes are:

Children 4-8 years old = 1 to 1 1/2 cups

Girls 9-13 years old = 1 1/2 cups

Below are examples of 1-cup serving sizes of fruits:

1 banana

1 large peach

32 seedless grapes

8 large strawberries

You can be safe with thinking of a baseball to estimate cup sizes.

Eating fruits provides many health benefits the body needs to be strong and active. Eating your recommended fruit servings daily helps your body fight unwanted infections and diseases.
