Autumn on Your Plate

Taste Autumn with Whole Grains

Autumn is the perfect time for warming dishes, cosy moments and delicious meals shared around the table. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to enjoy whole grains this season – from homemade pizza and crunchy pointed cabbage salads to quick cup noodles, homemade hot dog buns and a classic Danish BMO (bun with cheese). And when you’re in the mood for something sweet, a delicious banana bread is always worth a try.

Whole grains are a perfect fit for autumn cooking, adding flavour, substance and a lovely texture to your meals.

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.
