Minneapolis, Minnesota, April 2009 – Cargill will showcase its new Healthy Cookie Base, a proprietary, customizable blend that delivers whole grain, high fiber and zero trans claims in a great tasting cookie or bar, at the 2009 Whole Grains Council Conference next week, in Alexandria, Virginia. As a conference sponsor, Cargill will have a table-top display representing the Healthy Cookie Base with prototypes for sampling, and Jessica Wellnitz, Cargill senior food technologist, will be highlighting the importance of whole grains in schools and how the healthy cookie base can help fit into school foodservice. The Healthy Cookie Base contains several proprietary ingredients available only from Cargill including GrainWiseâ wheat aleurone and WheatSelectâ white whole wheat. The ingredients give cookies and bars a more favorable nutrition profile — and may allow whole-grain and fiber claims. The base contains: • 57.5 percent total whole grains • Over 25 percent total dietary fiber • 0 grams trans fat in base • GrainWiseâ wheat aleurone is a natural source of several vitamins and minerals The Whole Grains Conference highlights successes in the move to whole grains – and addresses the remaining barriers to healthy whole grains.
