That’s right! September is National Whole Grains Month. There is no better time to explore the many different types of whole grain breads out there. No matter your age or gender, whole grains are a healthy part of your diet. But did you know that some whole grains are even healthier than others?

Baking Business reports, according to a study found in a well-known medical journal, The Journal of the American Medical Association, the consumption of whole grains has been on the rise since 1999. The study was conducted by researchers from the Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy in Boston, Massachusetts and discovered that the consumption of whole grains improved by 0.43 servings per person a day!
