Tag: Multigrain vs whole grain

Over 50% of consumers mistakenly believe that the terms 'multigrain' and 'whole grain' are interchangeable. The truth is, while whole grain products are always a nutritious choice, a multigrain product's healthfulness depends entirely on its ingredients list, not its name alone.

According to agricultural historians, the concept of mixing multiple grain crops for resilience dates back millennia, and in modern times, "12 grains" most often refers to a blend of a dozen different grains used in food products like bread and cereal. This phrase, however, holds more than one meaning, encompassing both ancient traditions and modern nutritional marketing.
