By some estimates, wheat accounts for 20% of the calories consumed worldwide. But when you enjoy a slice of bread, a bowl of pasta, or a glass of beer, how often do you consider the farmer, the soil, the seed behind these foods? Did you know that there is currently a movement across the US to re-claim our wheat fields from the industrial food movement, and bring more nourishing products to market?

In this workshop, you'll learn about the role wheat and other grains play in Oregon's agricultural landscape; their function in baked goods; and how you can begin "baking the grainbow" at home. This course is ideal for home-bakers or professionals looking to build a relationship with whole grains; foodies who want to impress their friends; nerds; and craftspeople.

This one-session workshop will cover the basics of whole grains: what they are, where they're grown, how they're processed, and why they're awesome. We will also have some hands-on fun in the kitchen, covering the basics of baking whole grain bread at home.
