Grain Group foods give us carbohydrates (car-bo-hi-drate).

 Carbohydrates give us the energy we need to play, learn,

 sleep and keep our bodies running 24-7!

Grain Group Foods come from many different grain plants:

 wheat, oats, rye, barley and rice. "Whole-grains" like whole-

wheat bread, also provide fiber and other substances that help

 keep us healthy. Fiber also helps us digest our food.
