Difference between?!
Difference between?
Whats's the difference between wholemeal bread and wholegrain bread, or are they the same thing? Thanks:)
Answers:
Both are healthy breads and there are difference between wholemeal bread and wholegrain bread such as the type of flour and grains/ingredients use to produce these breads.
Wholemeal bread make from whole wheat flour, contains the whole of the wheatgrain (endosperm and bran). NO grains are added and No white flour is used.
Recipe for Wholemeal bread:
Ingredients
1 2/3 cup Warm water (110 degrees F)
2 tbs Butter or margerine
2 tbs Brown Sugar
2 tbs Nonfat dry milk
2 teaspoons Salt
4 cups Whole wheat flour (100% whole wheat grain flour)
2 tsp Active dry yeast
Preparation
Place ingredients in the bread machine in the order they are listed. Select Whole Wheat or Basic Bread setting. Press Start.
Wholegrain bread is also make from whole wheat flour with added wholegrains to increase the fibre content. (and some recipe requires whole wheat flour and white flour too for making whole grain bread)http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/whole-g...

Granary bread is bread made from granary flour, trademarked to Hovis made from malted white or brown flour, wheatgerm and wholegrains, millets,sunflower oil ....
Wheatgerm bread has added wheatgerm for flavouring.
Brown bread is made with endosperm and 10% bran.
White bread is made from flour containing only the central core of the grain (endosperm).
Whole grains: High in nutrition and fiber, yet low in fat
Find out why whole grains are an essential component to your diet and ways to include more in your meals and snacks.
Grains come in many shapes and sizes, from large kernels of popcorn to small quinoa seeds. Also called cereals, grains are the widely varied seeds of grasses, which are cultivated for food.
All types of grains are good sources of complex carbohydrates, various vitamins and minerals and are naturally low in fat. But grains that haven't been refined ― called whole grains ― are even better for you. Whole grains are better sources of fiber and other important nutrients, such as selenium, potassium and magnesium.
ANATOMY of a Whole Grain: (All parts of the grain contain valuable nutrients.)
1. GRAINS are the seeds of plants. When whole, they include the bran, germ and endosperm ― all of which contain valuable nutrients.
2. BRAN. Forming the outer layer of the seed, the bran is a rich source of niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. The bran also contains most of the seed's fiber.
3. GERM. The part from which a new plant sprouts, the germ is a concentrated source of niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. The germ also contains protein and some fat.
Endosperm. Also called the kernel, the endosperm makes up the bulk of the seed. It contains most of the grain's protein and carbohydrates and has small amounts of vitamins and minerals.
Whole grains VS. refined grains
Whole grains haven't had their bran and germ removed by milling, making them better sources of fiber ― the part of plant-based foods that your body doesn't digest. A high-fiber diet can help lower your risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes. A high-fiber diet may also lower your risk of other disorders, such as hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome and the development of small pouches in your colon (diverticular disease).
Refined grains, such as white rice or white flour, have both the bran and germ removed from the grain. Although vitamins and minerals are added back into refined grains after the milling process, they still don't have as many nutrients as whole grains do, and they don't provide as much fiber.
You can eat whole grains plain, add them to other dishes or use them as ingredients in baked goods. Rice, bread, cereal, flour and pasta are all grains or grain products. Choose the whole-grain versions ― rather than refined grains ― as often as possible.
Dietary fiber: An essential part of a healthy diet
Ways to enjoy more whole grains
Many foods made from whole grains come ready to eat. These include a variety of breads, pasta products and ready-to-eat cereals. Look for the word "whole" on the package and in the ingredient list. Make sure whole grains appear among the first items listed. Try to choose items with at least 3 grams of dietary fiber per serving.

Whole meal bread is made of whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour is made only from wheat (just like the name says it all), while whole grain bread contains whole grain flour that's a mixture of whole wheat, whole barley, oat and all the other grains.
