March is National Nutrition Month, and one of our favorite ways to celebrate is by highlighting the wonderful benefits of whole grains! As of January 2024, over 13,000 products used the Whole Grain Stamp in 64 di?erent countries and seven languages. Keep an eye out for the stamp as you do your grocery shopping to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the whole grain goodness.
