Each part provides important nutrients such as fiber, vitamins and minerals. Examples of whole grains include brown rice, quinoa, oatmeal, popcorn, and 100% whole wheat bread. On the other hand, multigrain means that the product contains more than one type of grain, however the grains may or may not be whole grains.
