Strawberries

Eat with the Season My grandmothers both loved to eat whatever was 'in season.' One grandmother was a backyard gardener and she grew tasty vegetables as well as beautiful flowers.

In short, whole grains are more nutrient-rich than refined grains. Refined grains lose some of their minerals, B vitamins, and antioxidants during processing. Whole grains retain all of these and are also higher in fiber and high-quality protein. For more information about whole grains, check out the Whole Grains Council.
