Celebrate Whole Grains Month with Frontier Soups

Sept. 11, 2009 - PRLog -- Waukegan, IL, Frontier Soups has whole grain soups to satisfy even picky eaters including Montana High Plains Wheat Berry Chili, with 31 grams of whole grains (nearly a whole day’s suggested requirement), and Washington State Squash and Lentil Soup with 12 grams of whole grains, said Trisha Anderson, founder of Frontier Soups.  Frontier Soups’ Colorado Morning Oatmeal Breakfast Cereal is another way to add whole grains, and its dried cranberry, brown sugar and walnut streusel topping makes it a delicious, stick-to-your-ribs breakfast and a great start to the day, Anderson added.

During September, the new six-pack of whole grain mixes are even more economical with a special price of $25, which is a savings of more than 35 percent.  In addition to the wheat berry chili and squash and lentil soup, the six pack is rounded out with: Pennsylvania Woodlands Mushroom Barley Soup: http://www.frontiersoups.com/p-F-PA-Mushroom-Barley-Soup.html, Wisconsin Lakeshore Wild Rice Soup: http://www.frontiersoups.com/p-F-OR-Wild-Rice-and-Mushroom-Soup.html, Oregon Lakes Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup and Colorado Morning Streusel Oatmeal Breakfast.  All Frontier Soups mixes are all natural and have no added salt, preservatives, MSG or trans fat.

“The lazy days of summer are behind us and the start of the school year really kicks things into high gear for people,” Anderson said.  “An easy to prepare soup mix will easily serve from four to eight with minimum prep time thanks to our perfectly pre-measured seasonings and dry ingredients,” Anderson said.  “Busy home cooks add only two or three fresh or pantry ingredients to our soup mixes for a made-from-scratch taste.”

According to the Whole Grains Council, research studies have shown health benefits result from eating three to five servings of whole grains daily, including reducing the risk of heart disease, strokes, Type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer as well as helping to maintain a healthy weight.  The council also encourages everyone to follow the Mediterranean Diet plan, which calls for a diet that relies more on whole grain foods like wild rice soup and fresh fruits and vegetables with smaller portions of meats, fats and sweets.
