Celebrate Whole Day for Whole Grain with Us on March 25!

We're thrilled to announce that Whole Day for Whole Grain is coming up on Wednesday, March 25. We hope you'll celebrate with us as we highlight whole grains all day! This year, we're asking members to participate with a few options:


  1. Host a product giveaway or contest for consumers on your social media accounts
  2. Offer a promo/discount code for whole grain products on your website
  3. Host an in-store or online activation with information about whole grains
  4. Post photos of your Stamped products with ideas for favorite recipes in the captions.


Whole Day for Whole Grain is a great way to be active during National Nutrition Month conversations! We hope these opportunities help you highlight whole grain products in a way that feels right for your brand.


Let us know what you’re planning and be sure to tag us @wholegrains_council and use #WholeDayForWholeGrain on Instagram. We’ll round up and share all member promotions to help amplify your efforts and drive extra visibility to your products.


 

Get Ready to Share on Social Media

Don't be shy, get involved! To make participation easy, we’ll be sharing a social media kit with ready-to-use graphics, captions, and a customizable frame asset you can adapt for your own content. If you have a storefront or are demoing at a local retail location, you can also request Whole Grains Council stickers and materials that we’d love to see in photos, so we can showcase how members are celebrating across the country. We encourage you to use our resources to share as much information about whole grains as possible!


We’ll also be highlighting our new Whole Grain Demo Toolkit resource for Registered Dietitians and health professionals through a Whole Day for Whole Grain live session, giving you additional science-backed tools to support education and outreach around whole grains.

 

Read Our Blog on the 2025-2030 DGA

With whole grains strongly featured in the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans and receiving increased media attention, we believe this is a great moment to reinforce positive, evidence-based messaging around whole grains. We’ve shared our perspective on the DGA in a recent blog post, and invite you to read it.


We’d love to hear how this emphasis on whole grains is shaping the way you talk about your products, engage consumers, or approach product development.


Review Your Contacts in the New Year

As part of your new-year housekeeping, we ask that members take a moment to review and update the contacts associated with your account. Keeping this information current ensures your team receives timely updates, outreach for opportunities, and access to all our whole grain resources.


Remember, you can always reach out to us directly for help with company name updates or address changes! 


 

Social Media Resource of the Month

For our social media resource of the month, learn about healthy heritage diets like the Mediterranean, Latin American, and African Heritage Diets! Whole grains fit prominently into these eating patterns, and we have lots of resources to learn more.


We invite you to repost this video on social media. When you do, tag @wholegrains_council and @oldways_pt, and we'll engage with your post!
