Grain Bowl 1 article

A grain bowl uses a cooked grain such as brown rice, quinoa, farro, or barley as the base for vegetables, beans or other proteins, toppings, and a sauce or dressing. In a grain bowl, the nutrition profile depends on the base, protein source, vegetables or fruit, toppings, sauce, and portion size. Comparing grain bowl versions works best when those components are explicit, because the same bowl format can vary substantially in protein, fiber, sodium, added sugar, and energy density.
