A whole grain product (like a bread, cereal, or cracker) has none of the grain removed during its processing. The grain contains three parts - the bran, the endosperm, and the germ. The bran is the fiber. The endosperm is carbohydrate that supplies energy to the growing grain. The germ is a powerhouse of vitamins and nutrients. It is the life of the grain. White bread is just ground up endosperm with the bran and germ removed. When you pick breads, crackers, etc, go for products that are 100% whole grain.
