IMPORTANCE OF WHOLE GRAIN
WHY WE CARE ABOUT whole grain?
That's why we’ve made whole grain the number one ingredient in all of our breakfast cereals with the green banner. The bold, bright green banner with the whole grain tick on our cereal packs shows our commitment to making it as easy as possible for you and your family to get tasty whole grain every morning. Wherever you see the green banner, you can be sure the breakfast cereal contains at least 8 grams of whole grain in each 30g serving. Guaranteed
Whole grain provides a range of vitamins, minerals, fibre, starch and other nutrients – that’s why it’s often recommended we eat three to five servings a day. But research shows we’re not getting enough.
When we wanted to know what people around the world think of whole grain, we asked them. We spoke to more than 16,000 people from 11 countries about the Importance of whole grain.
8 out of 10 people of people we spoke to think it's important to eat whole grain. But the same number of people don't know how much whole grain they should eat each day. Less than half of the people we talked to think they eat enough whole grain. And over a third said people do not know where to find whole grain. Fortunately, breakfast is a good way to get some whole grain first thing. So we’re always working behind the scenes to make sure our whole grain cereals give you and your family a daily dose of the good stuff.
