Abstract

Grains supply over half of our food energy and 50% of the protein consumed on Earth. Therefore, we need to know more about the wide range of foods made from grains. This knowledge reaches us in various ways, but many sources are not reliable. In this article, we talk about these communication issues, and we provide a roadmap for the reader seeking reliable information through the Encyclopedia of Food Grains.
