Question

which of the following types of grain product retains its original content of nutrients and fiber?
o a. refined - grain product
o b. whole - grain product
o c. enriched - grain product
o d. fortified - grain product

Explanation:

A whole - grain product contains the entire grain kernel (bran, germ, and endosperm), thus retaining its original content of nutrients and fiber. Refined - grain products have had the bran and germ removed, reducing nutrient and fiber content. Enriched - grain products have some nutrients added back (but not fiber). Fortified - grain products have additional nutrients added (not necessarily the original ones).

Answer:

b. Whole - grain product
