Whole Grains vs White

Today in foods we finished up notes on carbs so we did a mini lab were I had the students taste test the difference between whole wheat noodles, white noodles and veggie noodles. They also taste-tested the difference between white rice, brown rice, and wild rice. Most of the students hadn't tasted anything beyond the normal, white- enriched stuff, so I think it was a good experience for them.
