Whole Grains Fact: When grains are refined to make white flour, the germ and bran portions are removed, leaving only the endosperm. As you’ve probably guessed, this process also removes the most nutrient-dense portions of the grain. Use whole grain recipes for more nutritious meals. See more about whole grain facts and recipes.
