"minerals gives us energy and with out it we can die."

OK, there are facts and mistakes in the previous answer. Let's work on what we learned in college.

1) Yes, we can die without sufficient mineral intake.

2) To answer your question: grains give both vitamins and minerals - grains are the #2 source of magnesium, calcium, and potassium in the US diet (NHANES survey data). However, we should forget vitamin E and fiber in fiber-rich whole grain. (Rice is not a fiber rich whole grain - barley, rye, wheat, etc are good)

3) Please note that minerals offer no energy value whatsoever.

Minerals are critical for biological processes that metabolize macronutrients, but only carbohydrate (e.g. sugars, starches), fat, and protein can give energy. NOTHING ELSE!
