What are some whole-grain foods?

Whole grains contain the whole grain kernel (made up of the bran, germ, and angiosperm) instead of having these nutrients stripped off. For example, brown rice is whole grain, and white rice is refined. They are the same type of rice, but white rice has had the outer layers, along with all the nutrients, scraped off. Some examples of whole grains are brown rice, wholewheat flour, Bulgar, oatmeal, and whole cornmeal. Also, anything that has "whole wheat" or "whole grain" on the label.
