Celebrate Whole Grains Month in September
Join us as we celebrate the great taste of whole grains throughout the month of September.
Here at the Whole Grains Council, we adore whole grains all year round, and September’s month-long celebration of whole grains is the just the excuse we need to dial things up and have some fun. During Whole Grains Month there’s nothing we love more than watching folks fall head-over-heels for the unrivaled taste and overall goodness of whole grains.
This year, we’re taking grain enthusiasts on a culinary excursion, exploring the traditions, flavors, and ingredients of four beloved regions of the world. For the month of September, we’re inviting you, your friends, and family to sign up and receive special daily emails full of new recipes, whole grain cooking tips, and culinary inspiration gathered from the traditions of the Mediterranean, Asia, Latin America and the African diaspora. Join us as we embark on Whole Grains: the World Tour!
