The survey also revealed that 47% are seeking easier and tastier ways to incorporate whole grain foods into their diet. But some 22% were unable to name any of the benefits of eating whole grains, and 28% of people who prepare food for others said they did not know the difference between whole and refined grain foods.
Knorr-Lipton Sides markets a range of pasta and rice side dishes made with whole grains.
