wholegrain bread

Complete kernel loaf

Wholegrain bread is bread made from flour that retains all parts of the grain kernel—the bran, germ, and endosperm.

This distinguishes it from white bread, which uses refined flour stripped of the nutritious outer layers.

The term appears on packaging to signal higher fiber and nutrient content: I'm trying to switch to wholegrain bread.
