Nutrition Tier Lists: Grains

Показать описание

Historically one of the pillars of nutrition and one of the worst victims of the modern culinary world, grains are a fascinating food group. While in the past they were solely responsible for the survival of many peoples, these days there are so many other, possibly better ways to reach your daily caloric intake. And while breads, pastas and pastries aren't leaving dinner table anytime soon, I think we all recognize that eating too much of them is not only detrimental but also concerningly easy.

The question becomes, if this the fault of the grains themselves or the ways they've been twisted into the products we see on the shelves.

What I Would Change:
It dawned on me long after the release of this video that I have an entire C Tier that I didn't use. And I would move some options down and around to better show the complexity of the different grains. So maybe one day I'll do another deep dive into this, just not today.

All nutrient data is pulled from the USDA's National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.

For this list in particular please watch all the way through the conclusion as the most important points lie beyond the actual rankings.

As a farmer, there are many really good benefits of Buckwheat and why it is my favorite. 1. Very fast growth cycle, usually about 10 weeks from planting to harvest. In zones 6 or higher, this means you can get 4 complete harvests, compared to 2 for wheat per year. 2. Buckwheat is a nitrogen fixer, which means it takes nitrogen from the atmosphere and releases it in the soil. Nitrogen is the most important nutrient for leafy green vegetables like lettuce and broccoli. If you follow your buckwheat harvest with lettuce, it makes your lettuce grow better. 3. Amazing fast starter. Buckwheat is a great crop to grow if you want to clear some land of weeds. It grows very fast and high enough to smoother weeds. 4. Bees love buckwheat flowers and make a special type of honey when there is a lot of buckwheat around.. the honey is black in color and has more nutrition than normal honey. It sells for a pretty big premium over normal honey, just search amazon and see. 5. As mentioned, it is gluten free, which again adds some premium value over normal flour. 6. Beautiful flowers, as mentioned with the bees, a field of buckwheat is gorgeous, if you are marketing your farm, it will truly stand out having a field of buckwheat going. Flowering starts early, about week 5 and lasts for 3 weeks. Fairly easy to do succession planting and always having blooms. Why did wheat beat buckwheat? Ease of harvesting with machines. Wheat was modified to be extremely consistent in height, so big machines have an easier time with it.

The thing that helped me the most with your vids is that I realized even food that I thought were just empty calories (like potatoes, corn, romaine lettuce etc) are actually decent sources of nutrients so tysm!

I'd be interested in a video listing the typical cooking methods (baking, frying, steaming, roasting, sauteeing, boiling, raw, etc.) for foods and how they affect the nutritional content of the ingredients (in general terms ofc).

I would love to see a mushroom tier-list!🍄 However I don't know if there has been enough research done on various mushrooms to confirm all their health benefits

This is the kind of content I have been looking for. Thank you for focusing on the content instead of just being shiny/presentable.

I’d be interested in the processing of these grains.

So these tier lists are awesome, but I'd love to also see "build guides" for combining some of these foods into complete diets. Could be a fun way to make meal planning more fun and accessible, and could make for an interesting series where you cover builds for folks with certain dietary restrictions or preferences.

As someone with Celiac Disease- I'm so glad you mentioned which ones are gluten free! There were a few I had never even heard of! Which is great because I'm always looking to expand my options, thank you!

LaughLoveLindy

Thank you for all the effort you put into making these lists!

I got overly excited to see that you posted yesterday.... and everyone looked at me weird because it's just a video about grains. What they don't know is how much knowledge these videos are packed with. Can't wait for your next video!

Id like to see a "carbs" tier list for common base carbs we usually include in meals.

Bread for sandwiches vs rice for chicken teriyaki vs pasta noodles in a meat sauce vs potatoes in a stew, etc.
