Whole Grains: What You Need to Know – PowerPoint Show (DOWNLOAD)

Learning objectives & benefits: MyPlate calls for making at least half of our grains whole — yet only about 1 in 6 grains Americans eat are whole. This fully updated 35-slide show teaches learners of all ages what whole grains are, what’s inside a grain kernel (bran, endosperm & germ), why whole grains matter, and a simple 3-step method to choose them: Is it a whole grain? Is it heart-healthy? Is it calorie-smart?

What’s inside:

• Real food photography and a labeled kernel diagram
• A fiber chart and a calories-per-ounce comparison
• How to read the label — what “whole” means and which words to ignore
• A two-part whole grain shopping list, easy swaps & an Instant Pot tip
• Grains around the world, family recipes & a popcorn tasting
• A fun pop quiz woven throughout to keep the group engaged
• Speaker notes on every slide for the presenter

Perfect for clinics, classrooms, WIC, community wellness programs, and virtual / Zoom classes. Pairs beautifully with the Meet the Kernel Whole Grain Kit. Delivered as an editable PowerPoint (.pptx) download.
