One place you can try is http://www.nutritiondata.com/. You can pick

the cereal, grains and pasta category in the upper right and fill in the

type of grain.

 

You can also go to http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/, which

is a link from http://www.nutrition.gov/ and do a similar search.

 

I don't know of a source for comparing different grains side by side,

unless you are looking for a particular nutrient. Anyone else?

Probably someone has posted already, but just in case -

 

http://www.nutritiondata.com is good. But just so you know - neither

orzo nor cous cous are grains - they are pastas. For risotto, the

rice variety is arborio, but I didn't actually see that in their

database! It might be the " rice, glutinous " but I'm not sure.

 

Ah ha - Wild Oats store has the nutrition info for arborio:

Hi Amy ~

Thanks. Oops, on the mislabeling of the pastas. I kinda just lumped a bunch

of stuff together. We got a new cookbook but it doesn't have nutrional info for

the recipes so I want to know the breakdown of different options to expand our

meal base!

No worries. Most of the public, if they've even heard of orzo or cous

cous, think they're grains. I even saw cous cous in a newspaper

article about whole grains (showing different grains) a few years ago!!

This is complicated by the fact that both orzo and couscous are from grains :-)

While

many people when they speak of grains mean whole grains - wheatberries, barley,

rice,

etc., grain cookery may also include items made from grains. So many (although a

different buch of people) might consider orzo to be a grain product (well, it

is, of course)

although it isn't a *grain* - if you follow me LOL Likewise couscous. When some

people

refer to getting protein (for an example) from lentils, beans and grains, the

'grains' would

include that lovely wholewheat bread.

I thought cous cous was made from wheat? At least thats what it says on the

container?

Yup, wheat flour. And you can get whole wheat cous cous too.

Hi I remember sometime ago there was a discussion about ordering grains online. Someone had a really good site they ordered from. I've looked through the archives and haven't come up with the e-mail that had the info. Can anyone help me with this?

from azure standard. they don't deliver everywhere but they're a great

place for wholesome foods at affordable prices.

I always recommend Honeyville Grains, mostly for its prices,

including a FLAT shipping rate of $4.49(!). Not much of it

is organic, but for stocking up cheap, it's the place to go.

Hope this helps,

I buy beans from them. Their quality is superb

and their prices and service is excellent.

They have grain as well. I haven’t

purchased any yet, but I will. Click on the link above.
