Make Half Your Grains Whole

Whereas our kids get a great deal of grains of their weight reduction program, whole grains are the one choice to get the optimum amount of nutritional vitamins from their grains! To help my children understand the excellence between whole and refined grains, we had a mini vitamin lesson at home!

The aim I wanted to emphasize is that whole grain incorporates your whole grain kernel: the bran, germ, and the endosperm. These components of the kernel are very important as they embody dietary nutritional vitamins, minerals, and fiber.  A refined grain has had its bran and germ eradicated. 25% of the protein, and 17 essential nutritional vitamins are stripped away with it.
