When a grain contains the bran, germ, and endosperm, it is considered to be a whole grain. Each component plays a distinct role: the bran is the outer layer rich in fiber, the germ is the nutrient-dense core that contains vitamins and minerals, and the endosperm is the starchy inner part that provides energy. Whole grains are considered more nutritious than refined grains because they retain all the original components of the grain, offering a higher content of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
