Beef
The clean flesh of cattle, used fresh. Like all fresh meats it is mostly water before cooking.
Chicken Meal
Chicken that has been cooked, dried and ground into a concentrated meal, with most of the water and fat removed.
Brown Rice
Rice with only the inedible outer hull removed, so the bran and germ stay on the grain.
Oatmeal
Oats that have been rolled or ground, used as a whole grain carbohydrate.
Barley
The grain of the barley plant, one of the older cultivated cereals.
