Good "unrefined" grains are rich in nutrients and good for the body. Generally the darker the color the more unrefined the grain i.e amaranth, barley, millet, corn, rye etc.
Refined grain such as white rice, white bread and white pasta are devoid of most nutrients and fiber due to the refining process. These processed grains behave like sugar when eaten, rushing into the blood system and causing havoc (high glycemic index). This results in sugar imbalances, weight gain, mood swings and sugar cravings.
