Whole Grains Month has officially wrapped up, and we had a fantastic turnout for our Share the Goodness of Whole Grains Instagram contest. All month long we had fans of whole grains writing in about their favorite whole grains and their favorite people to share them with. It was inspiring to see the various ways people were getting involved.

 

We were excited to see all different kinds of whole grains being shared in unique ways. Our very favorite submission hit all of the marks of the contest prerequisites and charmingly showcased the essence of what the contest was about: sharing delicious and healthy whole grains in a beautiful way. The entry below won our grand prize of $500 cash, a basket of whole grain treats to share with friends and family, and the honor of having the Atlanta Community Food Bank in their home state (Georgia) receive several cases of whole grain foods. Congratulations @lgean1s!

 

 

Our runner-up wasn’t far behind with an appetizing and heartfelt submission illustrating whole grain cookies for a very special occasion. Delicious and nutritious! @tayyyylorlayne has won the $250 gift card for the King Arthur Flour Company store. We hope it will be put to good use to create more sweet whole grain works of art like these.

 

 

We had so many wonderful contest entries, we also chose 10 additional winners with noteworthy whole grain submissions. They’ve won a full year of Cooking Light Magazine for their efforts. Their photos were each stunning, enthusiastic, and motivating. Congratulations to all of our winners! We hope everyone out there continues to share the goodness of whole grains year-round.
