Making Healthy Choices Monday

Every Monday we will post a tip helping everyone to make healthy choices when eating and buying food.

Tip #1

Buy as many whole grain foods as possible, and make sure the package says 100% whole wheat. By law, if the package says 100% whole wheat then it is. There are many brands that make sliced whole wheat bread. Other foods such as hamburger buns, pasta, pancakes, and tortillas don’t always come 100% whole wheat, but buying the whole grain, grain, or whole wheat blend is better than the white flour version. Take a look at the ingredient list; if the first ingredient is whole wheat flour it’s a good buy.
