Dear Friends of Whole Grains,
Even if you don't work in the nutrition field, there are many ways that you can get involved:
- Plan a whole grain food drive at your child's school.
- Lead a whole grain grocery store tour for your community or church group.
- Post your favorite whole grain recipe to social media.
- Buy a new-to-you ancient grain at the grocery store, then research a recipe and try it out.
- If you work at a food business, offer coupons on whole grain items at your food business.

Evidence suggests that the synergy of different foods and nutrients working together offers the strongest cancer protection, so it is no surprise that whole grains are an important part of the cancer fighting pack. To read more about cancer prevention, learn from our friends at the American Institute for Cancer Research.
 February is Bake for Family Fun Month Each February, the Home Baking Association celebrates Bake for Family Fun Month. Join in the fun by baking a whole grain recipe with friends and family, such as the Amaranth Banana Bread recipe featured above, and be sure to check out their Baking with Whole Wheat Flour 101 tip sheet.
