Every September, we celebrate the goodness of whole grains! The annual Whole Grains Month campaign brings whole grain recipes, health information, cooking tips, and much more to people around the world.
Whole Grains Month is a great time for everyone to get on the whole grains bandwagon. Eating better is not an all-or-nothing choice. Every little improvement you make in your meals helps—all year long.

Throughout September, we’ll be challenging our followers to play along and join our Whole Grain Challenge. Each week we’ll be asking you to participate in a variety of activities that encourage you to try new whole grain products and dishes, and learn more about the culinary, nutritional, and environmental benefits of whole grains. Every week you’ll also have the chance to nominate a favorite food charity for a chance to win a whole grain products donated by our generous member companies, plus every Whole Grain Challenge participant will have a chance to take home a $100 cash prize — one of six that we’ll be giving away!

Expand your whole grain horizons
Eating whole grains is easy (and delicious) and we want to inspire you to choose even more whole grain foods this month. Did you know that the biggest sources of whole grains in the American diet are breads and breakfast cereals? These are among our favorite ways to eat whole grains, too, but why stop there? This month we’re asking you to step out of your comfort zone and add in other sources of whole grains too: pasta, pilafs, crackers, even soups and smoothies. Go wild! Let us know which new favorites you find.
