Whole Grains

Includes brown rice, buckwheat, corn, oats, quinoa, rye, whole wheat

Buying Buy minimally processed grains in bulk from a store that has a good product turnover. Look for breads, crackers, tortillas, cereals, and other dry goods made with whole grains rather than processed.

Storing Store dry goods such as flour and whole grains in a cool, dry place for 2–6 months, depending on the grain, or store in the refrigerator for longer. Eat bread and tortillas within a few days, or by the expiration date listed on the package (or wrap tightly and freeze for longer).
