I always find the whole grain stamps confusing. I didn't know about 16 grams equals 100% whole grain. That is why I always enjoy reading your blog! I would have to say my top fav whole grains are popcorn and oatmeal. Yum! Great post! I always find the whole grain stamps confusing. I didn’t know about 16 grams equals 100% whole grain.

Thanks for doing this. I have actually had that same question, about the basic stamp. It's shame that more companies don't use this stamp. I've noticed they really aren't on a lot of products, therefore I hesitate telling people to look for it. Why aren't they more universal?? I want them to be on ALL whole grains! Not just some. It would make things much easier. What a great post. Thanks for doing this. I have actually had that same question, about the basic stamp. It’s shame that more companies don’t use this stamp.

Thank god for the ingredient list that's mandated.

And trust me, I hear ya! Plus, with all the claims, logos, stamps, etc. it's confusing! Hopefully, we start getting back to more whole foods, less processed stuff, and if not--at least marketers can be real about their goods! Thanks Tracey! And trust me, I hear ya!

When I see the words "whole grain" on a product label I don't bat an eye. Most of the time it's pointless. Instead, I look to the ingredients list. I feel this way about the word "natural" now. Aside from produce, using "natural" on foods is pretty useless. It doesn't mean anything and the marketing ploy just annoys me. (Hello, all-natural 7-Up). Great post!
