What Makes Whole Grains So Good?
A whole grain is a plant seed with three layers. When it is refined, the outside and the inside are stripped away along with most of the nutrients and fiber. The starchy middle remains and you get white rice or white flour -- and lighter breads, pastries, and pastas. "Enriching" adds back some nutrients, but not as much as you get if you eat the grain "whole."
