When talking about cultures and traditions from around the world, it’s often their differences that tend to take the spotlight, making it easy to forget how similar they really are. While preparations vary from place to place with the use of local spices, herbs, cooking methods, and plant varieties, there is a lot that traditional heritage diets have in common. And it turns out, whole grains form the backbone of cuisines all over the world. 

As we celebrate 20 years of the Oldways Whole Grains council, our friend Bob Moore is celebrating 45 years of Bob’s Red Mill, and his 94th birthday! In honor of these anniversaries, and in recognition of his enormous contribution to the world of whole grains, the Whole Grains Council is delighted to honor Bob Moore as its first Whole Grain Pioneer. 

Is whole wheat the same as whole grain? What about multigrain? Rebecca explains.
