Tip of the Day, 3/29/13 -- Color is not an indication of a whole grain. Bread can be brown because of molasses or other added ingredients. Read the ingredient list to see if it is a whole grain.

    Foods labeled with the words “multi-grain,” “stone-ground,” “wheat,” “cracked wheat,” “seven-grain,” and “bran” are usually not whole-grain products.

    Popcorn, a whole grain, can be a healthy snack with little or no added salt and butter.

    One way to make half your grains whole is to substitute air popped popcorn for another snack.

    Use the Nutrition Facts label and choose products with a higher % Daily Value (%DV) for fiber – the %DV for fiber is a good clue to the amount of whole grain in the product.
