Why Choose Wheat Bread?

There are two big differences between white and wheat bread. One pertains to how the flour is processed and the other is how healthy it is. The flour for both is made from wheat, which has three nutrient-rich parts: the bran, the germ and the endosperm. Whole wheat is processed to include all three nutritious parts of the wheat, but white flour uses only the starchy endosperm from the center, processing out all of the nutrient- and fiber-dense parts. When compared to whole wheat bread, white is nutritionally inferior. Whole wheat is much higher in fiber, vitamins B6 and E, zinc, magnesium and folic acid.
