\"Seven<\/a>Federal nutrition guidelines recommend at least three servings of whole grains<\/a> per day, but most children only eat one. But there’s hope: a new study<\/a> from the University of Minnesota shows kids may not dislike whole grains as much as is generally believed. Children in the study were given a choice between whole grain graham crackers and processed graham crackers, and they didn’t show a strong preference.<\/p>\n

“Graham snacks provide a healthy, highly acceptable whole grain food that kids love to eat,” says Len Marquart, the lead investigator on the study. “This is an excellent way for kids to get up to an additional serving of whole grain per snacking occasion.”
\nThere are lots of other whole grain products that are healthy and have kid friendly taste. Although some products\u2014like pasta\u2014do have a strikingly different texture than their processed counterparts, encourage your kids to at least try the whole grains version.<\/p>\n
