20 Best Whole Grains For Diabetics (2023 Updated)

Its a good cereal for the fiber content. Its a fairly healthy cereal. But, I hate the texture. Almost every spoonful has at least one, if not more of flakes with a rock like consistency. It just surprises me.

The cereal as a whole is crunchier than other corn flake versions of this. It doesn’t get soggy. Tastes really good, unless you try to bite down on one of the pesky rocks. I realize that this is sweating the small stuff.

If you have sensitive teeth, then this might be an issue. That is the only reason why I didn’t give it five stars.

The healthy TOTAL breakfast cereal is delicious! I add some fresh fruit like bananas or strawberries or blueberries as a topping so no sugar or artificial sweetener is needed. Walmart’s budget friendly prices for all grocery items make it easy to live a healthy lifestyle.

This is bland. Gotta mix it with something. a little brown sugar, other cereal, or honey. Its a decent cereal but nutty cardboard flavor. may order again, idk

I am not sure what happened to this brand. It used to be our go-to and then it disappeared for a little while. When we finally found it again, we cooked it according to the package just as we always did.

Except the last two times it has turned out mushy and sticky. kind of like instant oatmeal. Not sure if something in the millet has changed or what. We will try to use less water next time like another reviewer mentioned.

Otherwise, we’ll be switching brands.

I cooked this in my Instant Pot using 1 cup plus 3 cups water, on high for 2 minutes, then natural release for about 15 minutes. It came out perfect for breakfast cereal, nice and soft and very flavorful, with still a lot of texture.

If I wanted it for something like a pilaf, I would use the same amount of water but decrease the time to 1. 5 minutes, but the texture of this the way I cooked it is extremely better than any other brand I have ever tried.

Not mushy at all.

It had been years since I made millet so I followed the instructions on the bag – using 1 cup of millet and 3 cups of water – and after 25 minutes of cooking, I ended up with a wet, mushy mess. As another reviewer wrote, it was more like cooked grits that you eat for breakfast.

I couldn’t use it with my recipe, so I started over. All of the millet recipes that I saw online said to use 2 cups of water for each cup of millet. I did that and it turned out well. The bag contains just over two cups of dried millet.

I’m rating it only 2 stars because of the faulty instructions.

I was looking for a bread that my dad can eat with his dietary sodium restrictions. We’ve been buying Ezekial bread which is good but it’s very course and crumbles in my dad’s hands when he’s eating a sandwich.

So we thought we’d take a chance and order some Angelic bread on-line and must say we are all very satisfied with the taste, texture and freshness upon arrival. It’s finer and soft enough that it doesn’t fall apart in dad’s hands, and is more appropriate for a sandwich bread than the Ezekial.

And although it’s No Salt Added, it still has 25 mg of sodium, and I personally think anyone would like it, whether they are sodium restricted or not. When I ordered, I also sent an email to the company and the owner responded the same day with a thoughtful and lengthy reply.

It’s obvious that they care about their customers and are making an effort to make a quality product. So we will be ordering again for sure!.

As part of a salt-free diet, I started searching for low-sodium or no sodium items to replace my daily intake. I came across the Angelic Bakehouse loaves, which I just received, and they are wonderful.

You won’t miss the salt, because salt isn’t needed in absolutely everything we eat. Let your sandwich toppings have some salt, because the bread doesn’t have to. The bread arrived soft yet firm, how a whole grain bread should be.

Perfect chew and mouth feel, and it supports your toppings as well. I think I have found the perfect long-term solution for low sodium AND sprouted grains.

This is my favorite bread! I first tried it by finding it in store (Giant Eagle). It is delicious, and has a wonderful texture. I especially like the newest version! It is a “safe food” for me; one I can count on when my IBS symptoms are even at their worst.

I ordered a box of products so that I could try ones unavailable in store. It was nice to first have my favorite bread fresh vs frozen, but it is still delicious from frozen. I really like that I can easily stock up on this via the freezer.

Makes wonderful toast; has a slightly nutty flavor when toasted. :).

My daughter turned me on to wheat berries as a more sustainable and delicious grain option than e. g. quinoa, of which I was eating a lot. I love the wheat berries! They are versatile. You can put them in salads or soups, or eat them directly under a stir fry dish or casserole, when you would typically use rice or some other grain.

Additionally, wheat berries are grown locally and are a great value. The shipping was super-fast–I got my order within 3 days. I try to order everything possible from Palouse Growers, e. g flours, grains, legumes.

I’m a Palouse Growers Super-Fan!.

Soft White Wheat was a new product for me. I made the purchase to make Shoyu (soy sauce). I dry pan browned the berried before mixing them with the soy beans to ferment. The aroma was quite pleasant and nutty.

Intrigued by the aroma I repeated the process the next day, and then soaked the golden browned berries overnight before cooking them. They were chewy, nutty, and made a nice addition to several dishes.

Quite different than hard winter wheat. I heartily recommend this product, and as always, making purchases from Palouse Brands is a pleasure.

I am very pleased with the Hard Red Winter Wheat that I ordered. First, it was delivered within the week of ordering. ( I was in Dallas caring for my daughter with cancer when it arrived and had to sit for several weeks in the foyer).

Now, it is all stored safely in Mylar and plastic buckets. As I was putting the wheat berries in the buckets I had a chance to see how clean it was, and it was clean. Very happy about that. I just finished eating two pieces of the delicious whole wheat bread for breakfast, no fancy recipe, just whole wheat, yeast, water, salt and oil and 2 tablespoons of sugar.

So delicious!!. I have happily shared your info with a number of people in a Facebook group of people , and I am hoping that will generate more orders for you. My husband and siblings actually own land in what was wheat producing Kansas.

Wheat production there has been reduced over cost and profit to the farmer. Whatever I can do to direct home buyer to you I am happy to do. Hooray for the wheat growers.

Anything Bob’s Mills is fresh and quality stuff! If you’re gluten intolerant its the way to go! Good as a warm breakfast cereal. The millet flavor is not that strong, which I personally prefer. The millet is a harder grain usually, so I always use 1.

5-2x more for both the water and the cooking time on the packaging.

Bob’s Red Mill Company has been around awhile. Me too! I felt an urgency for a millet meal and happily found it on Vitacost when I was ordering supplements. For me, millet is versatile and especially soothing for occasional upset stomach.

I use this grain to make hot cereal for breakfast. I add more liquid than is indicated on the package, so the grain is softer when finished cooking – 3 cups instead of 2 cups, cooked for 25 minutes. It’s a great alternative to oatmeal if you do not tolerate oats well.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleVery easy to prepare. I love the heartiness of this grain. I make a yummy salad with this. The salad includes farro, roasted cauliflower, spinach, a few kalamata olives, and blue cheese.

The dressing includes avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pepper, and a sprinkle of your favorite salad seasoning blend. So good!.

all 100% Kamut. Berries came in very heavy, safe package which should assure safekeeping. The bread was almost sweet, not a hint of the bitterness of regular whole wheat. However, next time I may add about 1/4th bread flour, should make it even higher, but the texture was wonderful as it was.

This is my first experience with Kamut wheat. I just prepared some banana bread. I ground the wheat in my spice grinder and soaked it overnight for digestion. Then prepared the banana bread next day.

I have to learn how to baked with smoked flour. Thanks for a great product!.

This rice is great. It’s extremely easy to do and the outcome is amazing, delicious and it is so convenient. This is a great alternative to the Boil in Bag rice, they both take the same amount of time to make (soft rice) but this does it better.

You don’t need to watch it unlike the bag one, you just mix it, boil, cover and wait. This gets a 5/5 from me unlike my 4/5 for Boil in Bag. Boil in Bag is great for a one person dinner, however watching it and the time it takes isn’t all that great.

This on the other hand is great for that as well, you just don’t have to watch the bag. I recommend both Boil in Bag and Original Converted, but overall I suggest picking this one up first, depending on your situation that is.

Thank you Uncle Ben!.

This rice has to be toxic. Stinks worse than finding a body decaying for a month at the back of a hog farm on the hottest August day. You can literally taste the metal. I usually donate unopened food I don’t like to the local soup kitchen but this must go in the trash.

I wouldn’t want to intentionally cause harm or disappointment to others. Imagine only being able to eat once every couple of days.

Every single flavor of this brand of rice is delicious. EXCEPT the Spanish style. I personally love Spanish style rice, and this isn’t a review about authenticity or anything like that. For some reason, this particular flavor ALWAYS tastes of plastic.

It has a plastic taste like something you should not be eating. None of the other types have ever tasted this way. This flavors though. theres something wrong with it.

Outstanding! I am so happy with these wheat berries. Jovial is top quality. I love Vitacost too! I can’t believe how quickly I received my order. My orders are shipped neatly packed. Will be ordering alot more from Vitacost.

I ordered many of the Jovial pasta too! It’s the cheapest place for Jovial items!.

I had never tried wheat berries before ordering them from Vitacost, but I wish I had ordered them sooner! I cooked them in my Instapot and served them as a cold salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and avocado.

The wheat berries have a delicious nutty flavor and the texture is a cross between pasta and rice. Everyone in my family loves it! I’m looking forward to using it to replace pasta and rice in many of my other dinner recipes.

Don’t hesitate to try wheat berries and order them from Vitacost!.

The taste of these berries is wonderful when turned into flour. The flour makes very nice bread and can be used to make sourdough bread.

This (to me) is very very good, especially for a pre-packaged microwave item. I use this at to add more grains (this has two different kinds) to frozen meals or as a side dish to a meal I’ve made. The flavor is good enough to eat plain.

I also like that there is kale added. I can not eat that stuff lol, but I know it’s good for me and it blends nicely with the rice. I don’t even notice it. I’d definitely give it a try if you haven’t yet.

If you’re single like me, it saves well with a bag clip in the fridge.

I just picked this up and costco on a whim wanting to mix up the normal brown rice I make with dinner. The package cooking instructions were very straightforward and it did not require a ton of water.

I chose to cook it on the stovetop instead of the microwave as heating food in plastic gives me bad vibes. I heated it up over medium heat added the water and stirred until warm enough to serve. It smelled and tasted awful.

Great flour I use this flour everyday,I use about 200 grams+50-70 grams of whole wheat flour. To make what we called it in Arabic of Yemen “Asseed” this word means something you twisted etc. It is a main dish there which they usually eat at noon.

For thousands of years,they grow sorghum too it’s the main crops there. It is easy simple and useful dish that has all nutrition you need. It can be made from sorghum flour or mixed with wheat flour.

For example if you will make 200 grams of flour you will need 360 grams of water. It is 1:1. 80 Water must be boiled first,then take about 70% of it and stir it with flour,then add rest of water. and stir it until it becomes like one piece of dough and you smell it as good hot bread.

1. It can be eaten with beef,sheep,goats,or chicken broth mixed with grinded tomatoes hot peppers,or to use butter ghee. 2. With butter milk with or without grinded tomatoes hot peppers etc. 3. With milk,honey,and butter ghee I use Presto deep fryer to make asseed,it is the easiet pan to do it,I put one side of pan to the wall,the other I put my boot to hold it firmly,so that you can use both hands,and stir it.

Any saucepan can be used,so that you can hold it with left hand and stir it with right hand. I have pictures,but I could not post them.

Considering sorghum hasn’t quite reached the mainstream yet, it’s not easy to find. Thank you, Swanson Vitamins. The grain is quite delicious and satisfies the craving for carbs, chewy savory goodness as a popcorn snack, pilaf, or add a little cooked grain to top salads for a nutty and Lectin-free enjoyment.

I soak 1-2 days and still cook 1:4 sorghum to water. Very nutritious and reminds me of wheat berries but it’s gluten free!.

This is my favorite gluten free grain. I use it in places where I would have once used wheat berries or farro, as it is nice and chewy. I cook in the instant pot; takes ages on the stove top. Great for salads, soups, and pilafs.

I’m not disappointed at all this tastes amazing. If you want to try something that won’t disappoint you and will certainly fill you up, try this and also try it with Goya black bean soup on the side.

They’re both ready so quick and both taste so amazing. The rice and quinoa cook perfectly in 90 seconds and the soup, I microwaved it for about two minutes. Strongly recommend for vegetarians and vegans.

Or just anyone looking to eat something healthier and very tasty that’ll fill you up.

My new favorite buy. This product is inexpensive and great addition to any meal. All it takes is one minute in the microwave and your done. No more have to struggle with cooking it on the stove. I alway think this would be a good addition for college students.

TraduciMostra in lingua originaleI love this rice! I never taste it but plan to soon. I use it more so for my hair as a rice water rinse. It makes my hair feel so good and has so many antioxidants and nutrients that hair needs.

I also read that some Chinese has used it for their hair for centuries. I originally brought this rice from Amazon but they overly charged and sent me the wrong package. They did refund me without having to return the rice so that was a plus (no hassle).

I then seen this sight for way cheaper and decided to buy from here for the 1st time. Hopefully I’ll be satisfied, if so I’ll order from here from now on so we’ll see.

TraduciMostra in lingua originaleWe have tried this variety of Lotus Foods rice and the red rice they offer, and this is our favorite by far! Lovely chewy texture, never mushy, and such a dramatic color! The flavor is just delicious, and according to the product info, it’s packed with nutrients! Combined with lentils and salsa or taco sauce, makes the best meatless chili ever!.

TraduciMostra in lingua originaleI love it for health reasons but I also love the taste. The people I have recommended it to, fall in love with it too. I rarely eat white rice since discovering black rice.

I initially heard about it from a customer I didn’t know in the grocery store. She told me how nutritious it was and once I tried it, I never stopped. That was 4 years ago. Love, love, love it.

I had never had cracked freekeh but it was an ingredient in a new recipe. It taste great. Only could find it at Walmart at a reasonable price.

this rice is delicious!! vegetables are cut small enough to stay on your fork, but not so small that you cant find them. the seasoning in the rice is outstanding. i make sure i always have a few in the pantry.

i will even eat a package for lunch all by itself. love that its only 90 seconds, & actually tastes better than any homemade ive had. i hope this never gets discontinued. maybe i should start hoarding it LOL.

We’ve purchased quite a few of the 90 second Good and Gather rices and like most of them. This Caribbean-Style is very good, so I’d rank it high accordingly. As I’ve read several reviews about “mushy”, that seems to be inherent frequently of any brands’ 90 second rice.

If if you have a few extra minutes, and depending on the dish, I suggest using the skillet method to eat up the rice. That typically gives the rice a better texture. And don’t be afraid to add some spice! I add a dash of cayenne pepper to this particular style rice for some zing!.

Tastes perfectly fine, not sure why there are reviews saying it tastes like plastic? I’ve had multiple pouches and have not had this experience at all. I will continue to purchase these. Following the instructions, they’re super quick to make- just hit 30 sec three times on your microwave & that’s it! Saves you time while you’re cooking other foods & it’s fairly priced I suppose.

It’s so easy to make this rice, which is great because my toddler loves rice. In a couple of minutes, my rice is microwaved to perfection, steamy, and fluffy. I thought a microwave rice might be too wet or overcooked, but it comes out perfectly.

I used it underneath my Mexican style instant pot beans last night as a side dish!.
