Coarse grains are a category of cereal grains that have larger seeds and are typically less refined than fine grains. Common examples include corn, barley, oats, and sorghum. These grains are often used for animal feed, food products, and various industrial applications due to their hardiness and nutritional value. Coarse grains are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them a healthy choice for many diets. They are often used in traditional dishes around the world, such as polenta made from corn and muesli made from oats. Their versatility allows them to be incorporated into both savory and sweet recipes.
