Whole grains, or foods made from them, contain all the essential parts and naturally occurring nutrients of the entire grain seed. The outer skin of the seed is the B vitamin, antioxidant and fiber-rich bran; the germ (or embryo) holds the protein, minerals and healthy fats; and the endosperm (the main part of the grain between the bran and the germ) has the proteins, carbohydrates and smaller quantities of vitamins and minerals. The bran and germ contain 25 percent of the protein in whole grains and many nutrients. When highly processed, these valuable nutrients and proteins are lost (not to mention healthful fiber).
