…people who eat three daily servings of whole grains have been shown to reduce their risk of heart disease by 25-36%, stroke by 37%, Type II diabetes by 21-27%, digestive system cancers by 21-43%, and hormone-related cancers by 10-40%.”

which is brown rice! You are ready!)

• Conduct taste tests

• Sample/educate and collect feedback from kids

• Train your staff using simple cooking techniques

• Don’t reinvent the wheel, use familiar settings (intact grains in burritos,

fried rice, chili, eg)

• Utilize your salad bar to introduce new intact grains
