Keep whole grains stocked in your pantry for these flavorful dinners. These dishes offer at least 6 grams of fiber per serving from whole-grain ingredients like barley, brown rice, farro, whole wheat pasta and more. The fiber from these foods has been shown to help lower LDL (also called “bad”) cholesterol and increase HDL (or “good) cholesterol. Combined with the fact these recipes are low in saturated fat, these meals make great options for people wanting to lower their blood cholesterol levels. Use leftover cooked barley to make our satisfying Bean & Barley Soup. And try our One-Pot Chicken with Farro when you need something with simple instructions, but complex flavors.
