March’s Harvest of the Month is Grains! Check out the featured recipe:

• Whole Grain Berry Pancakes

A grain is a seed harvested from a plant. Wheat, quinoa (keen-wah), corn, oats, and rice are all grains. Different varieties of grains are available all year round.

Use the grains you're eating to learn more about the food you're putting in your body. For example, the best type of grain products to eat are made with whole grain because all parts of the grain are used (bran, germ, and endosperm), as opposed to more processed products, such as white flour, which uses only the endosperm. Did you know that foods that are labeled with “multi-grain,” “stone-ground,” “100% wheat,” or “cracked wheat,” are usually NOT whole grain products. Make sure the package says the word “WHOLE.”
