eufic.org   Whole grains are a cornerstone of a healthy diet, and on this 15th November, crowned as International Whole Grains Day, we want to highlight why it is so important to make the switch from refined to whole grains. Packed with essential nutrients and fibre, whole grains can reduce the risk of many non-communicable diseases, making them a key component of healthy and sustainable diets. From hearty whole wheat to quinoa and brown rice, these grains not only taste great, but they’re extremely versatile and can be cost-effective too. So, why not join us in raising a toast to the many benefits of whole grains this International Whole Grain Day? Let’s #SwitchToWholeGrains!

EUFIC launches social media challenge #SwitchToWholeGrains Despite the numerous benefits whole grains offer and many European dietary guidelines recommending that refined cereals should be replaced by whole grains, most European consumers have a very low intake. However, fear not! There are infinite ways to include more whole grains in your meals. Whether it’s swapping white basmati for brown rice or choosing a non-traditional baguette, it’s all about making the switch to whole grain! To participate simply: Take your smartphone and document your whole grain swaps!
