There are plenty of reasons why you should switch to whole grains (digestive fiber, phytonutrients, anti-obesity—see details). But cooking whole grains from scratch is one of the more time-consuming kitchen tasks.

Now, when you walk through the door, just reach into the freezer for a pouch of pourable whole grains from Village Harvest. Measure out what you need and press Start on the microwave. The whole grains will be ready before anything else you prepare. When it comes to eating healthy whole grains, it takes a Village Harvest to make it this easy.

Choices include Brown Rice; Brown, Red, Wild Rice Medley; Quinoa; “Un” Fried Brown Rice; and Spicy Thai Brown Rice.

While each is ready-to-eat from the microwave, you can change them up with different garnishes—herbs, grated cheese or a small dice of tomato, for example. Or add grilled veggies, sliced meats, hard-cooked eggs or tofu to convert a side into a main dish.
