multigrain bread

Mixed-cereal baked good

Multigrain bread is bread made with more than one type of grain—wheat, oats, barley, millet, flax, or others.

The term suggests nutritional variety but doesn't guarantee whole grains; some multigrain breads use refined flours with token amounts of additional grains.

Is the multigrain bread actually healthier, or just marketed that way?
