1. FOOD SOURCES AND KINDS OF STARCH AND CEREALS By:Roy Galabo jr.

2. Introduction to Starches and Cereals Starches and cereals are staples in most diets around the world.They provide essential carbohydrates, which are the primary source of energy for the body.In this presentation, we’ll explore their types, food sources, and nutritional benefits.

3. Definition of starch Starch is a type of carbohydrate made up of glucose molecules.It is the most common form of carbohydrate in the human diet.Found primarily in plant-based foods.

4. Different types of starch Amylose: A linear polymer of glucose, resistant to digestion, found in foods like legumes. Amylopectin: A branched polymer of glucose, more easily digested, found in foods like potatoes and rice. Resistant Starch: Not fully broken down or absorbed, beneficial for gut health, found in foods like unripe bananas.

5. Food Sources of Starch Vegetables: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn. Grains: Rice, wheat, oats, barley. Legumes: Beans, lentils, peas.

6. Definition of cereals Cereals are grasses cultivated for their edible seeds. They are rich in carbohydrates and provide significant energy. Examples include wheat, rice, maize, barley, and oats.

7. Different types of cereals Wheat: Used for bread, pasta, and baked goods. Rice: Staple food for many cultures, used in various dishes. Maize (Corn): Eaten as a vegetable, grain, or processed into products like cornmeal. Oats: Often used in breakfast cereals and baking.

8. Nutritional benefits Rich in carbohydrates, providing energy. Contain dietary fiber, which helps in digestion. Vitamins and minerals: B vitamins, iron, magnesium, etc. Low in fat (naturally).

9. Whole Grains vs. Refined Grains Whole Grains: Contain all parts of the grain (bran, germ, and endosperm). Examples: brown rice, whole wheat. Refined Grains: Processed to remove bran and germ, reducing fiber and nutrients. Examples: white bread, white rice. Whole grains are healthier, providing more fiber and nutrients.

10. Why Include Starches and Cereals in Your Diet? Provide sustained energy throughout the day. Promote digestive health due to fiber content. Can help regulate blood sugar levels when consumed in whole forms. Essential for a balanced diet.

11. Conclusion Starches and cereals play a crucial role in providing energy and essential nutrients. Choosing whole grains over refined grains can provide additional health benefits. A varied diet including different sources of starch and cereals ensures balanced nutrition.
