What is whole wheat bread

Whole wheat bread is a kind of bread that is rich in crude fiber and tastes slightly rough. Not only will you not gain weight if you eat it at any time, but it will also promote gastrointestinal motility. It is rich in various vitamins and is very beneficial to health. Whole wheat bread refers to bread made from whole wheat flour without removing the outer bran and wheat germ. It is different from ordinary bread made from refined flour (i.e. flour ground after removing the bran and the nutritious subcutaneous colored part of the wheat grain). Whole wheat bread is characterized by a slightly brown color, with many small grains of bran visible to the naked eye. The texture is relatively rough, but it has an aroma. Because its nutritional value is higher than that of white bread, it is rich in crude fiber, vitamin E, and minerals such as zinc and potassium. It is very popular abroad. It is rich in B vitamins and microorganisms particularly like it, so it is more likely to mold and deteriorate than ordinary bread.

Characteristics of whole wheat bread

The characteristic of whole wheat bread is that it is made of whole wheat, not ordinary flour. It contains more wheat bran than ordinary bread. Most of the wheat bran is cellulose, and it contains some minerals and vitamins, especially B vitamins. Not only does the human body not absorb fiber, but it also has a very low glycemic index and can increase satiety. If you are losing weight, you should avoid words like "wheat flour" because the fiber content in wheat flour is not as high as that in whole wheat.

Won't.

According to the introduction, whole wheat bread refers to bread made from whole wheat flour without removing the outer bran and wheat germ. It is characterized by a slightly brown color, with many small grains of bran visible to the naked eye, a relatively rough texture, but with an aroma. Whole wheat bread is more beneficial to health because it is rich in fiber, which can help the body clean up intestinal waste, and can also delay digestion and absorption, which is beneficial to prevent obesity. Ordinary white bread is made from white flour and has a very low dietary fiber content.

It should be noted that brown bread is not necessarily whole-wheat bread. In order to cater to the preference of some consumers for brown whole-wheat bread, some companies use white flour to make bread and then add a small amount of caramel coloring to dye it brown. This makes it look like whole-wheat bread, but it is still white bread in essence.
