Get the Most Out of Your Meals

Wheat is so versatile—from the dishes you can make to the nutrients you get from eating your delicious creations. Including products made from a variety of flours in your diet is recommended by the Canada Food Guide to ensure you are getting a balance of the benefits provided by each. Our April meal plan provides a well-rounded set of recipes that include wheat products like bran, all-purpose flour, wheat germ and semolina to give you nutritionally balanced and exciting new recipes to try. Thanks to our friends at Revive Wellness for developing this versatile meal plan.
