How Wheat Works Do you know?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Wheat Food Council. All opinions are 100% mine.

We often take for granted how easy it is to serve up a meal, or grab a loaf of bread from the grocery store.  But have you ever delved into the thought process of how our favorite foods are made and brought to our local grocery store?  I was always intrigued by how we get the wheat that makes our bread.  I have driven by many fields of wheat blowing in the wind, but I am totally clueless about how they get it from the field to our table.

There is a really neat site called How Wheat Works that is designed to answer the very question I have.  How Wheat Works is cool online experience that provides a  farm-to-fork education on wheat.  It shows you the amazing transformation from the time the wheat is planted to when it arrives on your plate as bread, or other common foods with wheat.  You will get to plant, harvest, mill and even bake up the product you picked.

And for each person that completes this fun and educational program, The Wheat Foods Council will donate two pounds of flour to OperationHomefront.net. This non-profit organization provides help to needy US troops and their families.  I cannot think of a better incentive to see just How Wheat Works, and in the process of becoming educated, you can help families in need!  They are also extending this wonderful program  to the youth through www.wheatfoods.org. I encourage you to check out How Wheat Works, and this is also a fun way to get kids involved and teach them about where their food comes from.
