Names of the two methods described in the How to Cook Grains video
Absorption and pilaf
The difference between a simple and complex carbohydrate.
Chemical structure: simple carbohydrates are shorter.
Digestibility: Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest.
Difference between the muffin and creaming methods.
Fats: muffin uses melted fats and creaming uses solid fat.
Percentage of our calories that should come from carbohydrates, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans

The difference in impact between organic and inorganic arsenic?
Three grains that can be prepared as a side dish for meals.
Barley, Rice, Corn, Wheat.
Name three complex carbohydrates.
Three mixing methods used to prepare quick breads.
creaming
muffin
The three main types of carbohydrates.
What is fiber?
Two reasons why arsenic is a greater problem for infants and small children.
Their smaller body size makes them more susceptible to the toxic effects, and rice-based products are often a staple in their diets.
Two reasons why pseudograins are sometimes served instead of traditional grains.
Increased nutrient density, variety, concern about arsenic.
Three simple carbohydrates and identify the carbohydrate that is the body's main source of energy.
glucose, fructose, galactose
Glucose is the body's main energy source.
Four conditions that yeast needs to grow.
warmth
food
time
moisture
This carbohydrate cannot be digested but helps with digestion.
What is fiber?
Five foods that contain inorganic arsenic.
Brown rice, rice cakes, gluten-free foods, rice cereals, rice milk, rice-based snacks.
Name three grains and two pseudograins that can be cooked.
Grains: barley, corn, wheat, rice, oats, rye
Pseudograins: quinoa, wild rice, buckwheat, amaranth, sorghum
Three nutrient-dense carbohydrate foods.
Whole Grains: brown rice, quinoa, oats, and whole wheat bread.
Fruits:
Legumes: lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and kidney beans.
Starchy Vegetables: potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peas.
One commonality and two differences between the three quick bread mixing methods.
Commonality: wet and dry ingredients are combined separately.
Differences: Order in which ingredients are added (muffin and biscuit: wet added to dry ingredients), type of fat (muffin uses liquid; biscuit and creaming use solid fats) and where the fat is combined with the dry and wet ingredients (biscuit has the fat cut into the dry ingredients; creaming has the fat creamed with sugar, eggs, etc. before adding the dry ingredients; muffin: fat is combined with other liquid ingredients and then added to the dry) .
The three main types of carbohydrates.
What are sugars, starches, and fiber?
