New Flour A "Best-Of-Both-Worlds" Ingredient

New Flour A “Best-Of-Both-Worlds” Ingredient (NAPSA)—According to the current Food Guide Pyramid, Americans should consume at least three servings of whole grains each day. Contrary to this recommendation, however, Ameri- cans eat—on average—less than one serving of whole grain daily. Fortunately, there are delicious new ways for people to get the whole grains they need without making major alterations to their diets. For example, there is now an all-natural flour with the added goodness of whole grain that looks and bakes like white flour. So using it in place of all- purpose flour will help cooks— and their families—get the recommended three whole grain servings daily without compro- mising taste, texture or visual appeal. Developed by ConAgra, Eagle Mills All-Purpose Flour made with Ultragrain is a “best-of-bothworlds” ingredient that makes it easy to turn everyday white-flourbased products into great-tasting and nutritious whole grain foods.
