Fortified Grains
Fortified grains are cereal products that have added vitamins and minerals to enhance their nutritional value. Common nutrients added include iron, folic acid, and B vitamins. This process helps to address nutrient deficiencies in the diet and supports overall health.
Examples of fortified grains include white bread, cereals, and pasta. These products are often labeled as "fortified" or "enriched," indicating that they contain additional nutrients compared to their unfortified counterparts. Consuming fortified grains can be an effective way to ensure adequate nutrient intake, especially in populations at risk for deficiencies.
