Document Summary
Consumption of whole grains that are high in fiber may reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Endosperm: contains highest amount of starch and protein. This is all that remains when a train is refined. Bran: contains the majority of dietary fiber and a significant amount of b vitamins and minerals. Germ: it is the embryo of the seed that germinates and grows. It contains essential fatty acids and a number of b vitamins and minerals. Whole grains contain the endosperm, germ, and bran in original. Refined grains: stripped of the germ and bran, leaving only the endosperm. Enriched grains: some nutrients lost in processing are added back. The whole grains stamp used in 36 countries tells consumers. That a product contains at least 8 grams of whole grains per. 100 percent stamp vs no 100 percent stamp. Dietary guidelines for americans: consume at least half of grains as whole grain.
