Detailed explanation-1: -To tell if your bread contains a majority of whole grains, look at the listing of ingredients. “Whole grain” should be a part of the first ingredient, such as: “whole wheat flour, ‘’ “whole grain rye flour, ‘’ or “whole grain pumpernickel flour.” You can also check for the whole grain seal on the package.
Detailed explanation-2: -Check the ingredient list on refined grain products. The word “enriched” should appear in the grain name. Some food products are made from mixtures of whole grains and refined grains. Only foods that are made with 100% whole grains are considered a whole grain food.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fiber and total carbohydrates: “The simplest way to spot a good bread is to look at total carbohydrates and fiber, ‘’ says Los Angeles–based nutritionist Ilana Muhlstein. “You want to have at least one gram of fiber per 10 grams of total carbs. The more fiber the better.”
