CEREALS
Cereals are usually starchy pods or grains. Cereal grains are the
most important group of food crops in the world named after the Roman
goddess of harvest, Ceres. Rice, wheat and corn are the three most
cultivated cereal in the world. Starch on the other hand, exists in nature
as the main component of cereals and tubers.
Starch
Starch is the second most abundant organic substance on Earth. It is
found in all forms of leafy green plant located in the roots, fruits or
grains. Many of the food staples of man throughout the world are
basically starchy food, such as rice, corn, cassava wheat, potato and
others. Starch is the source of 80% of calories worldwide.

common sources of food starch are:

roots or tubers, including potato, sweet potato,

arrowroot, and the tropical cassava plant
(marketed as tapioca)

Classification of starch
Native or Natural Starch
refers to the starches as originally derived from it's plant source.

Modified Starches
are starches that have been altered physically or chemically, to modify one or
more of it's key chemicals and/or physical property.

Purified Starches

 Conclusion

Cereals in their natural form (as whole grain) are rich source of vitamins,
minerals, carbohydrates, fats, oils, and protein. Also, such cereals are
chosen for consumption and they have the higher fiber which is an
important nutrient that helps to prevent weight gain and heart disease.

Starchy foods are a good source of energy and the main source of a range
of nutrients in our diet. As well as starch, they contain fiber, calcium, iron
and B vitamins.
