About this event
It’s time to up your grain game. Learn about one of the most nutritious and satisfying foods on the planet: grains.
During this interactive, experiential workshop you will be invited to move beyond the well-simmered world of rice and quinoa to taste 7 other delicious whole grains. As we do so, we'll discuss the amazing nutritional qualities of whole grains, the benefits of rotating the kind of grains you consume throughout a month, and debunk some popular myths (like “grain brain”).
We'll cover cooking methods and where to purchase grains. You will get tips for using whole grains as the basis for satisfying, nutritious meals, for example, grain bowls, which are deliciously described in The Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet.
Immediately following the 2-hour workshop you will have the opportunity to make your own grain bowl using your grain of choice. Add a selection of yummy, freshly cooked veggies (some picked from the NCF fields), plus beans, nuts, seeds, and toppings. Enjoy eating… View Source
