Whole Grain Products

The recent hype about whole grain products on the newspaper and the government bodies encouraging on having whole grain products is hardly missable.

Yet why is it more expensive than the refined(white) grain? It doesnt require the removal of the husk or the bleaching of the grain which costs money too! I thought about this when I was thinking on getting whole grain cereals which costs 50% more than an normal one.

Turns out that...whole grains tend to spoil easily than the refined ones! And processing the whole grains into bread/cereal requires a whole lot more effort as they are more "hardy" !

So think more about why they are so expensive and think about the good sides of consuming whole grain products!
