The name "whole grains" is pretty much self-explanatory. It refers to cereal grains that consist of the "whole" of the grain. In refined grains, only part of the cereal is actually used. Cereal grains themselves, of which there are many different types, are grasses that are used in food.
Whole grain breads and breakfast cereals have been rising in popularity, as awareness of whole grains has also been rising, although the exact definition of what a whole grain is can vary from country to country and region to region.
There have been a number of studies which have showed that the risk of certain chronic diseases can be decreased by eating whole grain food, as opposed to refined grains, and healthy food does not necessarily mean tasteless or boring.
