Whole Day for Whole Grain will be held on March 27, 2024!
Our Whole Day for Whole Grain event is a great opportunity to spread the word about the goodness of whole grains. Use your online platform to promote whole grain foods and recipes, and encourage your followers to give them a try.
Why Whole Grains Are Important
An important source of fiber, essential minerals and other nutrients, whole grains in general are a food group associated with lower rates of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and other chronic diseases. They are also delicious and can help you unlock new flavors in your cooking! If you’re new to whole grains, here’s a helpful overview from our Director of Nutrition.
Why Participate in A Whole Day for Whole Grain?
You’ll join an active online community that includes bloggers, influencers, dietitians, brands, food manufacturers, retailers, and food service providers. Together, we’ll amplify each other’s messages. It’s a win-win: we’ll promote and interact with your posts, and you’ll help more people learn about whole grain foods. (Need a quick post idea?
