What is Whole Grain?
For a grain to be considered “whole” it must contain three layers:

1. Outer layer (bran) holds up to 80% of the grain’s total mineral value including B vitamins and most of the fiber.
2. Middle layer (endosperm) contains protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
3. Small inner core (germ) houses concentrated amounts of B vitamins, Vitamin E, protein, trace minerals, “good” unsaturated fats, antioxidants and phytochemicals.

Benefits of Whole Grains

1. Aid in the prevention of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure.
2. Promote regularity, as they are rich in fiber.
3. Help to control blood sugar levels and may reduce the risk of type II diabetes.
4. Are high in complex carbohydrates and fiber making you feel full and potentially lower and less likely to overeat.
