Whole Grains: Why it is important to eat a variety of whole grains?

“It’s important to include a variety of grains in your eating plan because grains differ in their nutrient content. Whole grains can be a good source of fiber, but refined grains usually are not.”

“There is no "healthiest" whole grain. Some are stronger in one nutrient, and others in different nutrients. It's like asking what's the best fruit, or the best vegetable: they all offer different benefits, so wise eaters enjoy a variety, for the best range of healthy nutrients and good tastes.”

The following is my 900-gram cereal consisting of multi whole grains, nuts, beans and seeds before grinding and cooking for six meals.
