What it is
Organic grains are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. They are harvested and processed using methods that preserve their natural qualities. Common organic grains include wheat, oats, corn, rice, and barley.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic grains as a primary ingredient in a wide variety of foods, providing structure, texture, and nutritional value. They are frequently found in baked goods like bread and crackers, cereals, pasta, and snack foods.
Health notes
Organic grains are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. They are a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many grains and their components. While some studies suggest potential benefits from consuming whole grains, the evidence regarding specific health impacts of 'organic' versus conventionally grown grains is mixed and ongoing.
Allergen info
Grains can be a source of gluten (wheat, barley, rye), which is a common allergen for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Wheat is one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. Other grains may be processed in facilities that also handle major allergens.
