Which is better - Wholemeal bread or Wholegrain bread

 

[malkore]

whichever has less sugar, and more fiber.

i'd have to see the nutrition facts and ingredients to make a final decision. i've not seen wholemeal bread at the stores here.

sorry for hijaking but what is better: wholegrain or multigrain?

 

[malkore]

depends. multigrain just means its more than wheat..usually wheat and oats and possibly barley.

whole grain means less processing to whatever grain(s) are being used.

well here in england i have never seen wholewheat in any shops so i stick with wholemeal

 

[malkore]

interesting lee. maybe that's the only diff...in hte US we call it whole grain, in the UK its whole meal.

wholemeal and wholegrain are essentially the same thing. there is no difference nutritionally between the two. the difference is that wholemeal is milled in such a way that the grain is finer, but it is still the whole grain used in the bread.

wholegrain and multigrain *can* be different - it will depend on the individual bread. multigrain just means there are several grains used in the making of the bread but it does not guarantee the whole grain has been used, like in wholegrain bread. some will, some won't - it depends on the individual manufacturers
