| Saint Paul Public Schools student and staff salad choice is clear 4/23/2008 5:22 PMMedia Release Office of Community Relations Contact: Howie Padilla (651) 767-8104 April 21, 2008 Saint Paul, Minn – There was little debate in this election. By a landslide margin on Friday, Saint Paul Public Schools students and staff members called for Corn and Barley Ensalada to be added to the district’s cafeteria Choice Bars beginning in the fall. Eighty-seven percent of students and 58 percent of staff members selected Corn and Barley Ensalada, a dish made of corn, barley, scallions, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers and cilantro in cumin dressing. The Wild About Grains! contest was part of an effort to serve more whole grains that kids will love. Research has shown that consumption to whole grains has many health benefits. Whole grains are low in fat and have no cholesterol. They contain complex carbohydrates which supply energy for daily activities and are high in Vitamins B and E, minerals and valuable antioxidants. To view the ingredients of all the salads, including the other contenders, Taboulleh and Five Grain Salad, visit Saint Paul Public Schools Nutrition Services at www.sppscafe.org. ### NOTE TO EDITORS: For more information, please contact Jean Ronnei, director of Nutrition Services & Commercial Services at 651-603-4958. |
