This page details the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Overall, the Guidelines recommend that all Americans make half or more of their grains whole grains. For everyone age 9 and up, this means eating 3 to 5 servings or more of whole grains every day. According to the U. Whole grains, as well as foods made from them, consist of the entire grain seed, usually called the kernel. The kernel is made of three components the bran, the germ, and the endosperm. Food manufacturers may fortify whole-grain foods where regulations permit the addition of folic acid. These foods also can help people meet the whole grain recommendation, especially if a considerable proportion of the grain ingredients is whole grains. For example, foods with at least 51 percent of the total weight as whole-grain ingredients contain a substantial amount of whole grains. Another example is foods with at least 8 grams of whole grains per ounce-equivalent. One ounce equivalent of whole grains has 16 g of whole grains. The recommendation to consume at least half of total grains as whole grains can be met in a number of ways. The most direct way to meet the whole grain recommendation is to choose percent whole-grain foods for at least half of all grains consumed. The relative amount of whole grain in the food can be inferred by the placement of the grain in the ingredients list. For foods with multiple whole-grain ingredients, they should appear near the beginning of the ingredients list. Another way to meet the recommendation to make at least half of grains whole grains is to choose products with at least 50 percent of the total weight as whole-grain ingredients. This information may help people identify food choices that have a substantial amount of whole grains.
