Whole grains are a type of grain made from unprocessed wheat. Cereals of this type fall into the category of whole grains and for this reason are often called whole grains.

Processed grains are called refined grains. This means that parts of the grain have been removed and as a result, have been stripped of some of its beneficial nutrients. Whole grain cereals made from refined wheat cannot be called whole grain and may be labeled as simply wheat or even 100 percent wheat.
A high fiber content is just one of the nutritional benefits of consuming a bowl of whole grains. They are rich in antioxidants and may help reduce the risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In addition, they can also help reduce the level of bad cholesterol in the blood. Eating some types of whole grains may even help prevent some types of cancer.
When buying whole grains, there are two general types available, which are cereals eaten hot and cold or ready-to-eat cereals. Wheat berries are the whole grain of wheat and are a form of whole grain that can be cooked and eaten as a hot cereal. Another common wheat cereal that can be eaten warm is whole wheat flakes. Grated wheat cereal is a type of ready-to-eat cereal.
There are other uses for whole grains besides eating for breakfast. The ready-to-eat cereal can be eaten on its own as a snack or combined with other whole grains, pretzels and nuts for a healthy mix to share with friends. Whole grains can also be crushed, seasoned and used as a crispy coating when frying fish or chicken.
