This is just an assemblage of the kind of carbohydrates that I make a part of my regular diet:
1) Lundberg's Wild Blend Rice - I go with organic and I mix it up so I don't get too much arsenic but I love the heartiness of the more fibrous form of rice and that it's not just one type. This blend has long grain brown, sweet brown, wild, whole grain wehani, and black japonica rice. 2) Organic Farro - Farro is one of the oldest grains ever cultivated by humans and is a whole grain. It's high in protein for a grain and is a type of wheat, but since it's organic there's no glyphosphate. Also there's 12% iron in one serving. 3) Organic fruit snacks - I love the berry flavors but this is just a snack that also has 100% vitamin C and the sugars are from fruit juices. 4) Organic sweet potatoes - I usually chop them up with the skin into 1-1.5" cubes and season and bake. Lots of vitamin A. 5) Organic kamut wheat pasta - If I eat pasta it's only one serving and if I do it's kamut wheat. One serving has 10g of protein and 15% iron along with a lot of other vitamins and minerals. 6) Grape nuts cereal - I use this when I need carbs in my diet for the day and iron. This has 90% iron and 48g of carbs. Lots of carbs but sometimes if I'm tired or worked hard I need this. 7) Fruits - I prefer berries, apples/pears, oranges, and figs Berries have less carbs and are lower on the glycemic index. Figs, meaning fresh figs are high in calcium. I eat apples with all natural peanut butter. 8) Organic hemp heart bites - These are cubes of hemp seeds with organic cane sugar and organic brown rice syrup. I love these when I go hiking. They're high in protein (a plant based complete protein!) and plant fats. They have 15g of carbs per serving which is just 8 squares. Also hemp is really high in iron, 25% per serving in fact! 9) Nature's Promise Artisan Bread from the bakery - I'll slice two slices and use light flax and olive oil based spread. This bread is organic and the wheat is a product of Canada so there's no glyphosphate. I prefer the multigrain or spelt and quinoa. 10) Quinoa - It's a seed so it has some fat but the fat is low and the carbs are high. I mix it with mushrooms, onion, light butter spread and edamame. One serving of organic red quinoa has 28g of carbs.
