Wheat (White)
About White Wheat
White wheat is a type of wheat that has had its bran and germ removed, leaving just the endosperm. It's the primary ingredient in many refined wheat products, such as white flour and white bread.
Nutritionally, white wheat is lower in fiber, vitamins, and minerals compared to whole wheat because the bran and germ, which contain most of these nutrients, are removed during processing. While it provides carbohydrates, it lacks the nutritional benefits of whole grains.
Consuming too many refined wheat products may contribute to health concerns like blood sugar spikes and nutrient deficiencies. It's best to choose whole grains over refined grains for better overall nutrition.
