Developed by the Whole Grains Council, A Whole Day for Whole Grain is recognized on the last Wednesday in March. Each year, the organization celebrates the amazing flavors and health benefits of whole grains.
To honor the day and highlight various grain products, Culinary Services will have a Whole Grain Madness competition throughout March!
