29 Jul 2021 --- US consumers are eating more whole grains for their perceived health benefits, flavor and sustainability credentials, according to a recent survey of 1,505 adults. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, one in five US consumers say they are eating more whole grains, and half have increased their intake in the last five years. This is despite rising trends in low-carb diets, notes the Oldways Whole Grains Council, which conducted the survey.
