What it is

An organic whole grain blend is a mixture of different whole grains that have been grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Whole grains include all three parts of the grain kernel: the bran, germ, and endosperm.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add whole grain blends to foods to boost their nutritional content, providing fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They also contribute to the texture and flavor of products. These blends are commonly found in cereals, granolas, bread, and meal replacement products.

Health notes

Whole grains are generally recognized as healthy food ingredients. The FDA considers whole grains to be part of a balanced diet. Diets rich in whole grains are associated with various health benefits, including supporting digestive health and potentially reducing the risk of heart disease. No specific regulatory evaluation by JECFA or EFSA is typically conducted for general food ingredients like whole grain blends.

Allergen info

Some whole grains, such as wheat, are considered a major food allergen by the FDA and contain gluten. Other whole grains, like quinoa, chia, and flaxseed, are not major allergens and are naturally gluten-free. Consumers should check product labels for specific grain types if they have allergies or sensitivities.
