Detailed explanation-1: -Refined grains have been milled, a process that removes the bran and germ. This is done to give grains a finer texture and improve their shelf life. But it also removes dietary fiber, iron, and many B vitamins. Some examples of refined grain products are white flour, corn grits, white bread, and white rice.
Detailed explanation-2: -A refined grain has undergone processing that removes the husk, bran and germ of the grain and leaves the endosperm, or starchy interior.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Rened grain” is the term used to refer to grains that are not whole, because they are missing one or more of their three key parts (bran, germ, or endosperm). White our and white rice are rened grains, for instance, because both have had their bran and germ removed, leaving only the endosperm.
Detailed explanation-4: -Grains are divided into 2 subgroups: whole grains and refined grains. Do you know the difference between the two? Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel-the bran, germ, and endosperm. Refined grains have been milled, a process that removes the bran and germ, leaving behind the endosperm.
