Whole grain wheat

Whole grain wheat is a type of grain that comes from the wheat plant. It is a nutritious ingredient commonly used in many food products like bread, pasta, and breakfast cereals. Unlike refined wheat, whole grain wheat contains all parts of the grain – the bran, germ, and endosperm – making it a healthier choice.

To make whole grain wheat, the wheat kernels are harvested and then processed to remove the inedible outer layer, leaving the nutrient-rich parts of the grain intact. These parts are then ground into flour, which is used in various food products. This process helps retain the natural fibre, vitamins, and minerals found in whole grain wheat.

Whole grain wheat appears on food labels because it provides essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins, and minerals. It contributes to the texture and flavour of foods, while also adding nutritional value. You can find whole grain wheat in products such as whole wheat bread, oatmeal, whole grain pasta, and breakfast cereals, offering a healthier option compared to products made with refined grains.
