Discuss the meaning and significance of foods that are refined, enriched, fortified, or whole-grain


When shopping for grain products, you will find them described as refined, enriched, or whole grain. These terms refer to the milling process and the making of grain products, and they have different nutrition implications. Refined grains have lost many nutrients during processing; enriched grains have had some nutrients added back; and whole-grain products have all the nutrients and fiber found in the original grain. Products described as "multi-grain," "stone-ground," or "100% wheat" are usually not whole-grain products. Brown color is also not a useful hint, but fiber content often is.?
