Session 5 of the Med Instead of Meds series at the
West Stanly Senior Center focuses on the core step: "Make Your Grains Whole".
Session Highlights
- Whole Grain Mastery: Participants learn how to identify and incorporate minimally processed carbohydrates—like oatmeal, quinoa, and brown rice—into their daily meals.
- Smart Selection: The class uses the "carb choice continuum" to guide attendees on choosing the healthiest grain options and reading food labels effectively.
- Demonstration & Tasting: Like all sessions in this 2026 series, it includes a live food demonstration and a tasting of a healthy Mediterranean-style recipe to show how flavorful whole grains can be.
The series is presented by Hayley Cowell, a Family and Consumer Sciences Agent with the N.C. Cooperative Extension.
