Did you know wheat is the most consumed grain? On the How Wheat Works site you can join an online multimedia program that delivers a farm-to-fork education on wheat, enabling a better understanding of its nutritional value. There are 4 phases to the program:
- growth
- harvest
- milling/baking
- the grocer’s aisle
Each phase takes only a few minutes to complete, while the program last for four days. You can select the type of wheat to be grown and wheat flour to be milled. There are activity suggestions at the end of each phase to extend your learning experience through preparing wheat-based recipes. You can also explore wheat grown in you area through the state wheat commission member sites and viewing harvest videos from “America’s Heartland.”
This is a great educational tool and it’s free to use. Better yet, for each participant, the Wheat Foods Council will donate two pounds of flour, up to 90,000 pounds, to Operation Homefront, a non-profit that provides assistance to needy U.S. troops and their families. The donations are made possible by members of ADM and ConAgra. ADM and ConAgra are two of the world’s largest millers!
They are extending this program to kids! Click here to check it out! There is a ton of information found on all the sites I have linked in this post. You can integrate this into your nutritional studies.
