Happy National #BreadMonth! It's all about how to #GoWithTheGrain. Wholesome, nutritious, delicious, and enriched grain-based foods provide many nutrients Americans are missing from their diets. Follow along for how to fold nutrients into your diet, while enjoying your favorite baked goods. #BreadMonth #GetGrains​ ​

Grain foods, like bread, rolls, and bagels are a great way to begin the day because, as complex carbohydrates, they provide essential fuel for our bodies. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends 6 grain servings a day with at least half being whole grains. #BreadMonth #GetGrains​

Grain foods contribute vital, often under-consumed, nutrients to the diet, including 43.7% of all fiber. Approximately two-thirds of the grain contribution to total fiber intake comes from enriched grains. #BreadMonth #GetGrains​

The most simple and healthy food for a crowd can be a sandwich. Research shows that what’s inside the sandwich, not the bread, are the likely drivers of calories, fat, and sodium @GrainFoods http://grainfoodsfoundation.org/recipe/whole-grain-smoked-chicken-goat-cheese-sandwich-bites/ #BreadMonth #GetGrains​

If you’re serving bread, rolls, or other baked goods this holiday season, you’re serving the nutrients that most Americans are missing! Almost 95% of Americans don’t meet fiber intake recommendations, but grain-based foods supply almost half of the fiber you need for a healthy lifestyle. ​

A charcuterie board with sliced bread, crackers, flat bread, veggies, cheese & meats is a nutritious and convenient way to stretch your entertaining budget this holiday season. #BreadMonth #GetGrains​
