Grains play a key role in the Mediterranean diet, which has been considered one of the healthiest diets in the world for decades. This diet is based on a wealth of fruits, vegetables, olive oil, fish, and seafood, with grains being an essential part of this dietary regime.
Whole grains such as buckwheat, oats, brown rice, and whole wheat flakes provide an abundance of nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Besides providing a long-lasting source of energy, whole grains are associated with reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, making them a crucial component of the Mediterranean diet.
With regular consumption of whole grains, the Mediterranean diet can contribute to long-term health and vitality, offering a wide range of nutrients without excess calories.
Additionally, grains are practical, affordable, and very easy to prepare, which is an added benefit especially in today’s world where time has become the most valuable resource.
