This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Wheat Food Council. All opinions are 100% mine.

Starting the New Year, I have resolved to be eating healthy. I have also read about healthy food types and have read including How Wheat Works, which is generally a program set by the Wheat Foods Council to promote wheat and how it should be used on a daily basis.

Wheat is not alien to us as we have been using wheat since my father’s weight loss program started prior to his condition. Wheat bread is readily available anywhere but we buy ours from Nature’s Bread. It’s kind of expensive so my father said we should just plan to plant wheat and learn how it would go from harvest to food preparation. That is quite challenging and entails knowledge to be able to succeed…

Anyway, I have read from the website, www.howwheatworks.com, all the wonderful possibilities of wheat. But what I am most excited about is the mention of two pounds of flour and up to 90,000 pounds, that the Wheat Foods Council will donate to Operation Homefront, which is a non-profit that provides assistance to needy U.S. troops and their families.The program is also extended to the youth as I read it  at www.wheatfoods.org.

So if you are interested like me, visit the website, as How Wheat Works is an interactive, online multimedia program that delivers a farm-to-fork education on wheat, which enables a better understanding of its nutritional value. It’s like playing farmville or farmtown in facebook, lol..  Participants of all ages can virtually grow, harvest and mill their own kernels to create their desired wheat food.  They go through each of the program’s four phases – growth, harvest, milling/baking and the grocer’s aisle, which takes just a few minutes to complete, while the program spans the course of four days. And like what I mentioned above, for each participant, the Council will donate two pounds of flour, up to 90,000 pounds, to Operation Homefront. Of course, this donation is made possible by members at ADM and ConAgra Mills, two of the world’s largest millers.

The Wheat Foods Council believes that teaching people how a whole or enriched grain food comes to be can shed new light on wheat nutrition, and that  results in informed food choices.

Oh, that’s just what I need to go through this new challenge…
