What is the difference between whole-wheat and whole-grain bread?

English Nutritional Recommendations Page 3 FAQ - EMail
he glycemic index of whole-grain bread (40) is lower than that of whole-wheat (50) because the flour hasn't undergone the process of bolting. In view of its low glycemic index, whole-grain bread induces a weak glycemic reaction (amount of sugar released into the bloodstream) and limits the storage of fatty acids (fat) because there is no excessive release of insulin (a hormone that lowers glycemia and stimulates fat retention).

Which grain is better for poultry, corn, sorghum grain (milo), oats or wheat?

Poultry FAQs
Generally corn and sorghum grain can be interchanged for each other in rations for chickens as they have almost the same nutritive value. More alfalfa meal or some other source of yellow pigment must be added to maintain yolk color if yellow corn is fully or partially replaced by other grains in a laying ration. Wheat is very palatable for poultry. Wheat and milo have comparable energy contents, but slightly less (5-7%) than corn.

Do you have a recipe for 100% whole wheat bread?

Real Baking with Rose Levy Beranbaum: FAQs Archives
I find regular whole wheat flour to be to dense when used as the sole flour for a bread. White whole wheat flour, however, produces a delicously wheaty, crunchy, fine-textured bread. It's especially fragrant when you grind the flour yourself shortly before mixing the dough. Simply replace all the flour in the "Basic Hearth Bread" on page 305 with equal weight white whole wheat flour. The first rise will take about 2 hours intead of 1.

How can you determine if a bread is truly whole grain?

Whole Grains Bureau - Professionals - FAQs
Products labelled with the words "multi-grain," "stone-ground," "100% wheat," "seven-grain," "pumpernickel," "organic," or "bran" may actually contain little or no whole grain. Consumers need to look for "100% whole grain" on a label to benefit from the goodness of all three parts of the grain.

Is there a difference between 100% stone ground and regular whole wheat?

Franz Family Bakeries - FAQ's
The difference is in how the grain is "cut" or "milled". 100% stone ground flour is actually ground on large, slow moving "millstones". This method grinds together the bran, wheat germ and endosperm throughout the flour without over heating it. This preserves more nutrients usually lost in the higher heat of conventional milling.

kill mold faq
That's a trick question because there are too many different factors to consider. The moisture content in each loaf of bread is different, the amount of preservatives in each loaf of bread is different, and the environment in which the bread has been in is different for each loaf. In fact no one can answer that question.

Question: Are whole grain breads more nutritious than white bread?

Frequently Asked Questions - Child Nutrition - District Prog...
Answer: White bread and whole grain breads are not the same thing. When white flour is milled, the outer bran layer and the germ are separated. The germ is taken off because it contains fat. When the fat in the germ turns rancid, the flour is ruined. The bran is removed because it is coarse in texture, brown in color and has flavor that some people do not like. However, bran is where the fiber is located and is lost during the milling process.
