In this episode of Nutrition for Noobs, Michelle and Kevin dive into the “whole grain hierarchy” to uncover which grains are the most nutritious—and which ones are best kept as an occasional snack. (It's like a whole grain Game of Thrones this week!) From intact grains like quinoa, barley, and wild rice, all the way down to puffed rice cakes, they explain how processing impacts fiber, protein, and nutrient levels. Along the way, you’ll hear nostalgic breakfast cereal stories, practical cooking tips, and a few laughs about Muffets, Pringles, and dad jokes. If you’ve ever wondered whether whole wheat flour is really better, how long wild rice takes to cook, or why some “healthy” snacks taste like cardboard, this episode is for you.
