Our matchmaking program gets samples of your product directly into new consumer hands (and mouths)!

As part of our Whole Day for Whole Grain festivities, we connect manufacturers wanting to donate product with a wide network of RDs, foodservice operators, and community center organizers hosting whole grain sampling events. These event organizers love featuring new and beloved whole grain products in the WDWG demos and they are able to offer potential customers a preview of the great products you have on offer!

Sign up by Friday, December 15 if you’d like the opportunity to have your product sampled, or email us for more information.

In this session, Dr. Juliana Cohen, Adjunct Professor of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, will discuss her research looking at whole grain acceptability in the school lunchroom and share why school lunches offer such an ideal opportunity for exposing kids to whole grains.

Sharon Palmer, MSFS, RDN, The Plant-Powered Dietitian will then speak about the nutrition benefits of whole grains in children’s diets and what the recommendations are for different age groups, as well as sharing tips for helping kids get excited about whole grains. 

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans have been recommending that we make at least half our grains whole since 2005. As the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee considers deemphasizing whole grains in certain dietary patterns, join us in voicing strong support for evidence-based guidance that recognizes whole grains' clear and consistent impact on good health and wellbeing for Americans of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.
