Whole grain vs. "White" grain (Refined grain) 全谷物和精致谷物的不同

Whole grain vs. "White" grain (Refined grain) 全谷物和精致谷物的不同


Info source:

The “whole grain” is the seed or kernel of a plant in its complete form. 

Grains have three parts, the endosperm which contains starch and protein, the bran – rich in fiber, minerals, and phytonutrients, and the germ – full of B vitamins, vitamin E and other antioxidants and minerals. 

"White” or refined grains like white flours and white rice are stripped of their most nutritious parts when they take away the bran and sometimes the germ too.
