Whole grains can be whole or processed kernels They can be cracked, cut, or ground into whole grain flour. The important thing is that all parts of the kernel are included, including the bran and germ. This is where most vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers are found. Whole grains provide both flavor and texture. Grain products, including whole grain products, are also among the foods with the lowest carbon footprint. Look for the whole grain logo when shopping.
