Lots of good recipes already shared here! For more @MariaSpeck has wonderful cookbooks focused on grains. #MMGrainsChat
Q7: What are some good resources for people who want to incorporate more grains into their #MeatlessMonday meals? #MMGrainsChat
A5: We're obviously team whole wheat. How many crackers, breads, cookies, snacks, pasta, and more - are made with white flour? Consumers want whole wheat, imagine how much healthier and tastier our pantries could be! #MMGrainsChat
A4: Wheat has been part of global diets for millennia. Wheat is drought-tolerant, can be a rotation crop for regenerative ag, and diverse varieties means it adapts to different growing conditions and culinary uses. #MMGrainsChat
A3: This is the easiest, endlessly adaptable, weeknight dinner - pasta, greens, some onion or garlic, and whatever else you have to throw in: bit.ly/2XpCwqz #MMGrainsChat
A2: By bringing extra nutrition. Whole wheat has vitamin B1, B2, B3, E, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, iron, and fiber. These are nutrients that are deficient in most Americans’ diets. #MMGrainsChat

Love the idea of whole grains as a "powerhouse of nutrition"! #MMGrainsChat
A1: We define whole grain as having 100% germ, bran, endosperm. Much whole wheat flour is actually sifted and re-combined, which can mean flour has much less than 100% nutrients. Ours is 100%! #MMGrainsChat
