Lamb Meal
Lamb that has been cooked, dried and ground into a concentrated meal, with most of the water removed.
Whole Grain Brown Rice
Brown rice kept whole, with the bran and germ intact rather than milled away as they are in white rice.
Oatmeal
Oats that have been rolled or ground, used as a whole grain carbohydrate.
Cracked Pearled Barley
Pearled barley broken into smaller pieces so it cooks and digests more quickly.
White Rice
Rice milled to remove the hull, bran and germ, leaving the starchy endosperm.
