Dear Friends of Whole Grains,
 Adding richness and depth to recipes with whole grains is one of the driving trends in the culinary world, and it's high time for everyone else to experience why. On Wednesday March 29, 2017, we invite you to join us in celebrating the 6th annual
Whole Grain Sampling Day.
More than 120 supermarkets across the US & Canada will be sampling whole grain products in their stores, and a handful of Boston-area restaurants will be offering menu samples to customers. Additionally, more than 55 college campuses are planning events for students.
To find out if a store, restaurant, school, or community health center near you is participating,
check out our Interactive Map. If you can't find a formal Whole Grain Sampling Day festivity near you, create your own celebration, simply by trying a different whole grain menu item at a restaurant, or making a recipe with a new-to-you ancient grain. Share your Whole Grain Sampling Day experience on social media using the hashtag #SampleWholeGrains.

NOT EATING ENOUGH WHOLE GRAINS LINKED WITH DEATH FROM HEART DISEASE, STROKE, & DIABETES
Using decades of data from US adults, researchers created models to estimate how many deaths from heart disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes can be attributed to poor diet. They estimate that low intake of whole grains alone may contribute to 5.9% of deaths from these causes.
