whole-wheat
Grain fully intact
Whole-wheat describes flour or baked goods made from wheat kernels with the bran and germ intact, rather than refined white flour: whole-wheat bread, whole-wheat pasta.
The term signals higher fiber and nutritional content.
In British English, the equivalent is usually wholemeal.
