What's old is new again! Grains have played a historically significant role in the diet for thousands of years, yet are some of today's trendiest foods. Ancient grains, in particular, are surging as a new culinary darling. However, many nutrition professionals and consumers are unaware of the unique health benefits, nutrition profiles, and practical applications of individual grains—including classic grains like oats, corn, and wheat and ancient grains like quinoa, amaranth, and sorghum.

This webinar will take an exclusive look at the current menu adoption cycle trends of grains—specifically, which grains are popular and how are they being used. The webinar will also dive into an evidence-based and practical discussion of the health benefits and culinary application of both trending and staple grains.

The live version of this webinar was presented by Holley Grainger, MS, RD, and Managing Director of Datassential, Jack Li, on Thursday October 29, 2015, at 2 pm EDT. This recorded version is approved for one hour of continuing education credit. RDs should list code 175 for this activity type.
