Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Cindi asked, " Does anyone know of a good resource to find out the different nutrional values (mainly carbs & protein) of various grains; orzo, risotto, couscous, quinoa, etc etc. " 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? from Maida Citizens for Pets in Condos, http://www.petsincondos.org South Florida Vegetarian Events, http://www.soflavegevents.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: http://www.wildoats.com/redesign/hn.php?org=wildoats & ContentID=1650005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 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!

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.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I thought cous cous was made from wheat? At least thats what it says on the container?

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 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? God's Peace, Gayle "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 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. http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/ Hope this helps, -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog - Gayle Saturday, May 10, 2008 12:41 PM Grains Hi I remember sometime ago there was a discussion about ordering grains online.

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.
