@BigMeanInternet @willyblackmore Are they being paid by the capture?
Are they just creeps or doing it for the money?

[Community Grains @communitygrains]

@AspenFood @HarvardCHLPI Truly important. Please include how valuable it would be for people to be confident that they were getting all the nutrients of whole-grain wheat that the label said they’re getting

Q7: What are some good resources for people who want to incorporate more grains into their #MeatlessMonday meals? #MMGrainsChat

[Community Grains @communitygrains]

A5: We're obviously team whole wheat. How many crackers, breads, cookies, snacks, pasta, and more - are made with white flour? Consumers want whole wheat, imagine how much healthier and tastier our pantries could be! #MMGrainsChat

Q3: What’s your go-to #MeatlessMonday recipe that features grains? #MMGrainsChat

[Community Grains @communitygrains]

@robinasbell This is a really good point! We hear meat-eaters say they don't feel full if they don't eat meat. Whole grain based meal could make a big difference #MMGrainsChat

[Community Grains @communitygrains]

A2: By bringing extra nutrition. Whole wheat has vitamin B1, B2, B3, E, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, iron, and fiber. These are nutrients that are deficient in most Americans’ diets. #MMGrainsChat

Q2: How can whole grains improve meatless meals? #MMGrainsChat

[Meatless Monday @MeatlessMonday]

@Think_Rice Love the idea of whole grains as a "powerhouse of nutrition"! #MMGrainsChat

[Community Grains @communitygrains]

@MeatlessMonday There isn't a great way to know from a label - the best way is to ask food producer how it's milled, if it's sifted. We believe in full transparency for our food, and use a special mill that keeps 100% of kernel intact.

[Community Grains @communitygrains]

A1: We define whole grain as having 100% germ, bran, endosperm. Much whole wheat flour is actually sifted and re-combined, which can mean flour has much less than 100% nutrients. Ours is 100%! #MMGrainsChat

Q1: What makes a whole grain whole? How does this make a difference in cooking? #MMGrainsChat
