whole grain
Bran included cereal
Whole grain refers to cereal grains that retain all three original components—the bran, germ, and endosperm—rather than having parts removed through refining.
Foods labeled whole grain, such as whole wheat bread or brown rice, are generally considered more nutritious than their refined counterparts because the bran and germ contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
I'm trying to eat more whole grains for the health benefits.
