Celebrate Whole Grains Month in September
Join us as we celebrate the great taste of whole grains throughout the month of September.
Every September, we celebrate the goodness of whole grains! The annual Whole Grains Month campaign brings whole grain recipes, health information, cooking tips, and much more to people around the world.
Whole Grains Month is a great time for everyone to get on the whole grains bandwagon. Eating better is not an all-or-nothing choice. Every little improvement you make in your food helps—all year long.
Join our 2025 celebration!
Our followers embraced a world of flavor as we embarked on WHOLE GRAINS: THE WORLD TOUR. We took inspiration from whole grain culinary traditions spanning the Mediterranean, the African Diaspora, Latin America, and Asia. We invited folks to follow us on social media to get fresh recipes, cooking tips, and little-known facts about all their favorite whole grains throughout the month.
Whole Grain Challenge
Eat Tasty Food, Learn about Whole Grains, and Nominate a Charity to Receive Food Aid. Plus, Earn a Chance to Win $100!
Throughout September, we’ll be challenging our followers to play along and join our Whole Grain Challenge (more details coming soon!). Consumers will be asked to participate in a variety of activities that encourage them to try new whole grain products and dishes, and learn more about the culinary, nutritional, and environmental benefits of whole grains. We’ll ask consumers to nominate their favorite food charities for a chance to win a huge donation of whole grain products, plus every participant will have a chance to take home a $100 cash prize — one of six that we’ll be giving away!

Expand your whole grain horizons
Eating whole grains is easy (and delicious) and we want to inspire you to choose even more whole grain foods this month. Did you know that the biggest sources of whole grains in the American diet are breads and breakfast cereals? These are among our favorite ways to eat whole grains, too, but why stop there? This month we’re asking you to step out of your comfort zone and add in other sources of whole grains too: pasta, pilafs, crackers, even soups and smoothies. Go wild! Let us know which new favorites you find.
