Eating out does not mean skipping #WholeGrains 🍽️

Ask to swap your usual side for brown rice, whole grain pasta or bread. Most places are happy to make the change, and your gut will thank you 😉

#WholeGrains, like many plant foods, contain natural compounds, such as #antinutrients, but there is no reason to worry, as their proven health benefits far outweigh any downsides.

Worried about arsenic in #WholeGrains like brown, red or wild rice? 🌾

No need to be. @efsa.europa.eu confirms that levels are below those linked to health concerns for most people.

Whole grains are safe, nutritious & good for your health. Don’t let myths say otherwise.

Numbers don’t lie! 🤫

When compared with refined grains, #WholeGrains clearly stand out.

Refined grains have much lower levels of fibre, vitamins and minerals, which are key for our health and wellbeing. 💪

The quality of the #carbohydrates we eat matters - not all carbs are created equal. 🌾🍽️

🍽️🌍 Eating for your health & the planet goes hand in hand!

The #PlanetaryHealthDiet by @eatfoundation.bsky.social rum recommends filling about a quarter of your plate with #WholeGrains (≈232 g per day), helping prevent millions of deaths from #NCDs each year.

Just like bedtime routines, #HealthyEating habits develop with consistency.

Research shows children often need several tries before liking new foods.

🛑✋ Don’t give up after one “no”. Keep offering #WholeGrains to help your child get used to their taste and texture.

Looks brown, so it must be #WholeGrain, right? Not always!

🍞 Brown bread can get its colour from molasses or additives, not necessarily from whole grains.

👇 Learn how to spot
November 13, 2025 at 8:35 AM
Don’t fall for misleading claims! 🚫

Products labelled ‘stoneground’ or ‘seven-grain’ might sound healthier options, but they’re not always #Wholegrain.

🧐 Always check the label and look for “whole” or “whole grain” before the grain name. It should be one of the first ingredients.
November 12, 2025 at 10:28 AM
Children aged 2 to 10 are recommended to eat 40 to 70 g of whole grains per day. 📊

But guess what? Most kids in Europe don’t eat enough #WholeGrains!

Making the switch can help boost their energy and support their overall well-being. 🧠🔋

Do you know why #WholeGrains are good for you ❓

They help protect your health in more ways than you might think!

It's time to start including them in your meals little by little.

🚨 Most Europeans aren’t reaching the 90 g daily #WholeGrain target!

#DidYouKnow that just 1 slice of whole grain bread, 1 portion of oats and 1 portion of whole grain pasta can meet your daily fibre target and boost your vitamin and mineral intake? It’s easier than you think!
