Why is choosing whole grains instead of refined grains better?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Whole grains contain more fibre
Whole grains retain the bran, germ, and endosperm, whereas refining removes much of the bran and germ. Consequently, whole grains usually provide more fibre and several micronutrients. Fibre supports bowel function, increases fullness, and can slow digestion and the rise in blood glucose compared with many refined choices.
