A Wheat Plant
Whole-grain products contain much of the germ and bran, as well as the endosperm;
that is why they are so nutritious.
The protective coating of branaround the kernel of
grain is rich in nutrients and fiber.
The endospermcontains starch and proteins.
The germis the seed that grows into a wheatplant, so it is especially rich in vitamins and
minerals to support new life.
The outer husk(or chaff) is the inedible part of a grain.
Refined white grain products contain only the endosperm.
Even with nutrients added back, they are not as nutritiousas whole-grain products, as the next figure shows.
Common types of flour: White f louran endosperm flour that has been refined and
bleached for maximum softness and whiteness.
Unbleached f lou ra tan-colored endosperm flour with texture
and nutritive qualities that approximate those of regular white
flour. Wheat flourany flour made from wheat, including white flour;
wheat flour has been refined whereas whole-wheat flour has not.
Whole-wheat flourflour made from whole-wheat kernels; a
whole-grain flour.
