16. Refined Grains Examples are: cornbread white flour white bread
white rice

17. Refined Grains Most refined grains are enriched.
Enriched means that vitamins or minerals have been added back to the food that was lost during the refining process.

18. Refined Grains DO NOT WRITE!
This means certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron are added back after processing. Fiber is not added back to enriched grains. Check the ingredient list on refined grain products to make sure that the word “enriched” is included in the grain name. Some food products are made from mixtures of whole grains and refined grains.
