Do You Know Where Your Food Comes From?

Have you ever been in a wheat field? I have and actually it’s very interesting to see the plants up close. Of course then your told it’s hard work to get all this done and my uncle the farmer goes on and on for an hour or so about how all of this takes so much work.
Well I won’t do that to you, but I do want to tell you about a very cool program called How Wheat Works that will tell you all about wheat, going from the field to your plate it explains how wheat had been use throughout history and allows you to plant and grow wheat to make a food product out of it.
I choose to make pasta so I planted the durum wheat. I love pasta and that really is the only reason I choose this one, but there are 3 other types you can choose to plant. Right now I’m at the step where I have to wait 24 hours for the wheat to grow, so I can’t tell you what happens next but I may do a quick follow up in a few days.
I can tell you one thing right now, this is a great site for people with kids and teachers. It’s interactive, fun and the kids learn something. They also can have a feeling of accomplishment when they complete the cycle and make their own food. Another reason they can feel good about learning at this site is that for each participant that completes the process Wheat Foods Council will donate two pounds of flour, up to 90,000 pounds, to Operation Homefront. This is a non-profit that provides assistance to U.S. troops and their families that are in need of help.
Check it out, it’s free and actually pretty fun to use. I’ll be checking back tomorrow for sure I want to see how my wheat grew!
