The Bread Lab is part of the Washington State University-Mount Vernon Research Center plant breeding program, which studies the diversity of locally grown grains to determine those most suitable for craft baking and other culinary creations. The goal of the Bread Lab is to combine science, art, curiosity, and innovation to explore ways of using regionally available grains to move the craft of whole grain bread baking and other grain usage forward.
