Autumn with Whole Grains

Autumn is the perfect season for cosy meals, comforting dishes and spending time gathered around the table. And there are plenty of delicious ways to add whole grains to your meals – for breakfast, lunch and dinner. How about banana pancakes for a cosy morning, homemade naan bread for dinner, or a warming chilli sin carne, vegetarian pasta dish or spaghetti bolognese?

Whole grains are a perfect match for autumn cooking. They can add extra flavour, substance and texture to your meals. Try choosing wholegrain pasta, wholegrain bread or wholegrain rice when preparing your favourite dishes. It’s an easy way to add more whole grains to your everyday meals – without compromising on great taste.

So, let autumn be an opportunity to enjoy comforting dishes, cosy moments and all the delicious ways to add more whole grains to your plate.

What is whole grain?

Whole grain means using the entire grain, including the germ and bran where most fibers, vitamins, and minerals are located. Whole grains can be whole or processed kernels They can be cracked, cut, or ground into whole grain flour. The important thing is that all parts of the nucleus are included – including the shell parts and the germ.

This is where most vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers are found. Whole grains provide both flavor and texture. Grain products, including whole grain products, are also among the foods with the lowest climate footprint. Look for the whole grain logo when you shop.
