Issue 45 - June 2021
Welcome...
This June, we're celebrating our fourth Whole Grain Week with new research and handy whole grain shopping videos to help you swap to whole grain! As usual, we’ll be sharing great recipes, new products suitable for the whole family and innovative products promoting good gut health.

We also have our eye on the science behind fermentation - the ancient practice that's responsible for delicious sourdough bread! Read our article by student dietitian Olivia Downie (University of Queensland) on how longer fermentation is helping bring back a love of bread for many people.

Happy whole grain swapping!
