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 bran around the kernel ofgrain is rich in nutrients and fiber.
The endosperm contains starch and proteins.
The germ is the seed that grows into a wheatplant, so it is especially rich in vitamins andminerals 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 flour—an endosperm flour that has been refined andbleached for maximum softness and whiteness.• Unbleached flour—a tan-colored endosperm flour with textureand nutritive qualities that approximate those of regular whiteflour.• Wheat flour—any flour made from wheat, including white flour;wheat flour has been refined whereas whole-wheat flour has not.• Whole-wheat flour—flour made from whole-wheat kernels; awhole-grain flour.
