This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Wheat Food Council. All opinions are 100% mine.
I admit to not knowing a lot about how wheat works. I know that wheat is in a lot of food products, including my beloved cream of wheat. I also know that having a wheat allergy would really suck, because holy crap would you ever be limited on what you could eat!
The Wheat Foods Council is setting out to educate people on How Wheat Works. An interactive guide on the website allows you to pick the wheat-containing product you’d like to learn about, and then follow its progress from a single grain of wheat, to the wheat field and then to the kitchen table. The guide requires four individual phases over the course of four days. You have to sign up to participate, and you’ll be notified via email to return to the website each day to complete the next phase.
Signing up and going through the motions of the program is definitely worth it, because the Wheat Foods Council has promised to donate two pounds of flour to OperationHomefront.net, a non-profit organization that provides assistance to U.S. troops & their families, for every person who completes all four phases. Up to 90,000 pounds of flour will be donated — that’s enough flour to make over a million muffins!
Additionally, the Wheat Foods Council is reaching out to younger generations with a blog, Facebook and even Twitter!
