Whole grain

Whole grain refers to grains that include all parts of the grain kernel: the bran, germ, and endosperm. Unlike refined grains, which have had the bran and germ removed, whole grains retain their natural nutrients and fiber. Common examples include whole wheat, brown rice, oats, and quinoa. Eating whole grains is beneficial for health as they are linked to improved digestion, reduced risk of heart disease, and better weight management. Incorporating whole grains into your diet can enhance overall nutritional intake and provide sustained energy.
