Dining Services is participating in the Whole Grains Challenge this month -- are you?
Dining is offering daily whole grain foods:
- Sundays - whole wheat pancakes
- Mondays - popcorn
- Tuesdays - whole wheat pastas
- Wednesdays - whole grain bread
- Thursdays - assorted whole grains (quinoa, wild rice, brown rice)
- Fridays - assorted corn choices
- Saturdays - oatmeal
In addition, the Places & Markets are featuring their daily whole grain choices as well. Look for whole grain displays and/or ask a manager for help finding the whole grain choices.
Why whole grains, you ask? Whole grains, like fruits and veggies, contain tiny but mighty antioxidants and phytochemicals. These antioxidants and phytochemicals fight disease. So many times we focus on what we shouldn't eat...it's far more effective and enjoyable to focus on what we should be eating. Whole grains? You should be eating them!
