Whole Grains Month
September 17, 2024
September is Whole Grains Month. From whole wheat to nutty quinoa, whole grains add flavor, texture, and nutrition to your diet. Whether you're baking bread, cooking dinner, or prepping snacks, there's a whole grain option for every dish. Our partners at Oldways Whole Grains Council have materials to help you incorporate whole grains into your menu.
