Belinda and Melanie taught Thursday night about using whole grains. They can probably get you a copy of the handout if you missed it. It includes descriptions and cooking instructions for more than 17 kinds of whole grains, tips for incorporating them in your diet and storing them, and 9 recipes.
The Whole Grains Council website has lots of great information, including links to other sites with recipes using whole grains.
Please start looking for these grains where you shop (PCC and Whole Foods are obvious, but Trader Joe's, TOP, Albertson's, and others also carry many) and post the prices you find (for example: pearled barley, Bob's Red Mill brand, $2.75 for 30 oz at Amazon.com) to help others know where to go for each kind of grain. This should make it easier to get started using them more. We learned Thursday night about the many health benefits of eating whole grains, so let's encourage each other to try it at home!
