This diagram shows the Healthy Eating Pyramid, built by the faculty in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. Based on the latest science, this pyramid is a simple, trustworthy guide to choosing a healthy diet. It shows that you should eat more foods from the bottom part of the pyramid (vegetables, fruits, and whole grains such as brown rice and oats) and less from the top (red meat, potatoes, and refined grains such as white rice, bread and pasta). It should be noted that brown rice flour has more fiber and nutrition than white rice flour. It is used in the bread recipe illustrated in the Creative Rice Baking video. Below is a comparison of the various flours often used in gluten free baking with (celiac-forbidden) gluten flours. |
