About Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared

Whole-wheat bread is made with flour that keeps the entire wheat grain — bran, germ and all — rather than stripping it back to white. That single difference is what gives it a denser texture, a nuttier flavor and a noticeably better nutritional profile.

Keeping the whole grain means keeping its fiber, along with more of the B vitamins, iron, magnesium and other nutrients that refining removes. The extra fiber also makes whole-wheat bread more filling and gentler on blood sugar than white, slice for slice, even where the calorie counts are similar.

It's one of the easiest everyday swaps there is: the same sandwiches and toast, with more of the grain left intact. The words 'whole wheat' on the label are the part that matters, since many brown-looking loaves are just colored white flour.
