  5. The Importance of the Components of Wheat 1. Carbs Wheat is largely comprised of carbs, like most cereal grains. Starch is perhaps the most prevalent carb in the plant kingdom and constitutes more than 90% of the total carb content of wheat. The health benefits of starch present in wheat depend on its digestibility. This limits the blood sugar level. 2. Fiber Whole wheat is very rich in fiber. But in the case of refined wheat, it does not have much content. The fiber amount of whole-grain wheat is approximately 12% to 15% of dry weight. The prime fiber type present in wheat for nearly 70% of its composition is arabinoxylan. An arabinoxylan is a form of hemicellulose. Apart from this, the rest is majorly composed of cellulose. 3. Protein Protein approximately makes up 7% to 22% of the dry weight of wheat. Protein in the form of Gluten records approximately 80% of the entire protein content. Gluten is the reason why a wheat dough has its unique stickiness and elasticity. It is the property that makes wheat the best candidate for breadmaking worldwide 4. Vitamins and Minerals Whole Wheat is a great source of various Vitamins and Minerals. It is composed of selenium, manganese, phosphorus, copper, folate. But in the case of refined and white wheat, these characteristics are not present as they are eliminated during the refining and milling process of the latter. However, as wheat accounts to be one of the most consumed foods, the flour is enhanced and supplemented with vitamins and minerals on a regular basis. This Enhancement is a compulsory process in several countries.

  6. Conclusion If you desire to live a long and healthy life, consider adding whole-grain wheat to your diet. You can use it to prepare various kinds of food items. Regular intake of the latter can help in reducing many health risks.
