SALES AND SPECIALS

The month of June gets an F – F lag Day, F ather's Day and the F irst day of summer – all add up to FUN ! Where there's fun there's food too. We need to make healthy food choices and try to avoid one F - Fat. Saturated fats & trans fats can raise cholesterol & put us at greater risk of heart disease and other chronic illnesses. We need to limit our overall intake of fat to around 30% of our calories, and within that limit, choose monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Omega 3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats found in fish, nuts, seeds and leafy green vegetables. These foods are thought to protect us against heart disease, inflammation, certain types of cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's and vision loss. Good sources of Omega 3's are Flax Seed and Flax Meal – more F's! Try our Flax recipes & start off the summer right!

War Eagle Mill is proud to offer a wide variety of whole grain flours, meals and mixes. Please take a moment to browse our online store and experience these quality products for yourself. Get started with these whole grain recipes!
