Whole grains are different from refined grains in that they contain all three parts of a grain kernel: the starchy endosperm, which provides carbohydrates, protein and some B vitamins and minerals; the germ, rich in healthy fats and vitamins; and the bran, a concentrated source of fiber, minerals and B vitamins.
Whole grains provide sustenance and comfort. And lucky for us, they're a main feature of the Mediterranean diet, which is an approach to eating that emphasizes whole, mostly plant-based foods.
