While most of us eat processed grain products daily like bread and pasta, we are missing out on many nutritional benefits. When grains are milled into refined white flour for baked goods, their healthy components are removed.

Whole grains provide antioxidants, vitamins, and protein, while also being complex carbohydrates that sustain energy longer. Their refined counterparts spike blood sugar and cause food cravings soon after eating.
