Whole grain diet – make a switch

Before we proceed further, let’s have an idea what whole grain is? Any grain is mainly sub-categorized into two groups – whole grain and refined grain. Whole grain preserves all three parts called:

Bran: Outer shell of grain which is packed with fiber, antioxidants and numerous minerals.

Endosperm: After that comes this second or middle layer which generally contains carbs.

Germ: Innermost layer provides plenty of vitamins, protein and plant compounds.

Whereas, refined flours are mostly stripped off germ and bran, leaving only the endosperm to achieve finest texture, color and extra life of flour. Once you develop the habit of consuming whole grain in your dietary, you will find them full of nutrients, nice texture and most importantly the flavor which circulate energy in your body.

Cast a look why one should switch to whole grain flour instead of refined flour while having pastas, breads, buns and tortillas etc.

  1. More fibers and nutrients: Being a part of this journey from beginning you must be acquainted with the higher nutrition value of whole grain. They are particularly high in vitamin B, zinc, iron, magnesium, proteins and antioxidants and fibers while refined flours are deprived of them.
  2. Weight loss: if you are desperate to shed some extra pounds, sticking to whole grain diet is a right decision. Whole grain indulgence is very much useful in losing weight owing to high fibers which make you feel full and consequently prevent overeating.
