Multigrain bread is bread made with two or more types of grains, which can include whole grains and refined grains. It’s popular because it has a heartier texture and often more nutrients than white bread.
What grains are commonly used?
- Wheat (often whole wheat)
- Oats
- Barley
- Rye
- Millet
- Corn
- Flax or sunflower seeds (sometimes added)
Is multigrain bread healthy?
It can be, but it depends:
- Whole-grain multigrain bread is higher in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
- Some multigrain breads use refined flour and just add seeds, which tastes good but isn’t as nutritious.
👉 Tip: Look for “100% whole grain” or “whole wheat” as the first ingredient.
Common uses
