Grains & Starches

Explore Grains & Starches

• Processed Grains — Processed grains are milled and processed forms with their own culinary identity distinct from the whole grain, including wheat flour, rice flour, cornmeal, semolina, and bulgur.
• Pseudocereals — Pseudocereals are non-cereal seeds cooked and used like grains, including quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth.
• Starches — Starches are isolated culinary starches used as thickeners, coatings, and structural ingredients rather than eaten as grains themselves, including cornstarch, potato starch, and tapioca starch.
• Whole Grains — Whole grains are intact or minimally processed cereal grains that anchor staple dishes worldwide, including rice, wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn, millet, and sorghum.
