Nutritionists have been telling us for years to enjoy whole grain foods packed with important nutrients such fibre, vitamins and minerals. The new Canada Food Guide, a colorful dinner plate divided into sections, has a whole quarter of the meal dedicated to whole grains. Yet many of us are still devouring bread, pasta, crackers and baked goods made from so-called “refined” grains. Our panelists will detail the health qualities of whole grains and provide tips on how to include more of them in our daily diet.

About Café Scientifique
The University of Manitoba Café Scientifiques bring together experts with non-researchers (you, me, neighbours and friends) in a relaxed atmosphere (wherever you are joining us from virtually!), to learn about their research and the questions it raises. Cafés are scheduled throughout the academic year, on a weeknight, and encompass topics that reflect the breadth of research underway at the UM. They are hosted and organized by the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International).
