Superfood of the Month: Oats


For National Nutrition Month here at EHM Saline, we highlighted oats for this month’s superfood. Each week we have incorporated whole grains into our lunch meals and have educated our residents on the benefits of using whole grain foods. As pictured, we made a delicious fruit and yogurt parfait for the lunch dessert. We had positive feedback and plan to add it as a menu staple at our Blossom Café.
