Wheat
kernel comprised of starch and
nutrient-rich bran and germ
Bran and germ are removed, resulting
in primarily empty starch (flour).
Processed flour is bleached to
improve the appearance and texture
of consumer goods.
Bleached flour is enriched by adding
in a few isolated B vitamins and
iron in an attempt to replace what
has been removed.
Nutrient-deficient consumer goods
that have the ability to sit on a
store shelf for an extended period
of time are the final result.
