The inedible part of a grain kernel is the bran, which is the outer layer that protects the seed. While it is rich in fiber and nutrients, it is often removed during the milling process for refined grains. Other inedible components include the husk, which is the protective outer covering that is typically separated from the grain before consumption.
During the enrichment process of refined grain products, vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid are typically added. However, vitamin B12 is not included in this enrichment process. This omission is significant because it can lead to deficiencies in populations that rely heavily on enriched grain products, particularly in vegetarian or vegan diets that do not include animal sources of B12.
When consuming refined white bread, we are primarily eating the starchy endosperm of the wheat grain. During the refining process, the bran and germ, which contain fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats, are removed, leaving behind a product that is lower in nutrients. This process results in a lighter texture and longer shelf life but also diminishes the bread's nutritional value.
Refined is a verb (past tense of refine) and an adjective (refined sugar).
