In fact, a 20 year trend of declining grain food consumption has been reversed. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A national study by the Grain Food Foundation suggests that the turnaround is more than a one-time sales blip due to pantry loading. In reality, consumers count bread among their top comfort foods. The study revealed one-third of Americans named pasta and bread as foods that are comforting during a stressful time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the comforting flavor, this trend provides valuable nutritional benefits. As a part of many healthy eating plans, bread and pasta are nutritionist approved and provide nutrients needed for healthy aging such as B vitamins, magnesium, selenium, iron, folate and fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor years, we\u2019ve been telling consumers that grain foods are the foods we love that love us back,\u201d said Christine Cochran, executive director of the Grain Foods Foundation. \u201cThe stress has given us permission to enjoy bread and pasta again, but unlike most comfort foods, consumers recognize that grains have nutritional value.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15243_A-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15243_A-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15243_A-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15243_A-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15243_A-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15243_A-1600x1066.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15243_A.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The highest-ranking comfort foods were ice cream; baked goods like cakes, cookies and pastries; salty snacks; candy; and fast food. However, when asked to identify comfort foods with nutritional advantages, consumers identified bread and pasta as the top two.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can all rest assured that there is enough supply of grain food products in this country,\u201d Cochran said. \u201cShoppers may be experiencing some sporadic unavailability of certain high-demand items. However, manufacturers are working closely with retailers to make sure that out-of-stocks are short lived. Consumers will be able to buy their favorite grain-food products and eat them, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the role of grain foods in a healthful diet, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.GrainFoodsFoundation.org\">GrainFoodsFoundation.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rotini with Sausage and Mushrooms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recipe courtesy of Sylvia Melendez-Klinger, MS, RD, on behalf of the Grain Foods Foundation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prep time: 18 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Servings: 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; box (13 1\/4 ounces) whole-grain rotini<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; tablespoon olive or vegetable oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pound chicken sausage, sliced<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cup leeks, thinly sliced<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cup green onions, thinly sliced<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cups mushrooms, sliced<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cup chicken stock<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1\/4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cup parsley chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; leaves from tarragon sprigs, chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cup Romano cheese grated<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Parmesan-Romano cheese (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare rotini according to package directions.
