Quick Tip: reading labels

If you want to feed your family whole grains (which of course you do), here's a tip you should know. When reading bread labels look for "whole wheat flour" or even "sprouted wheat flour" as the first ingredient. Many will simply say "wheat flour" but this does not mean "whole wheat" as white flour comes from wheat and is hence "wheat flour." So don't fall for the claims of "wheat bread" or even "whole wheat bread" on the packaging, turn it over, look at the ingredients and decide for yourself.
