When carbohydrate-rich foods are processed, they can lose some of their nutrients. The process that turns wheat into refined white flour is a good example of how other nutrients can be lost. In this process, the inner and outer parts of the wheat grain are separated, and only one inner portion is used to make the flour. All the nutrients in the grain's outer covering are lost. Cooking, freezing, dehydrating, and canning also remove nutrients from food.

When shopping for carbohydrate-rich foods, try to choose whole grains (such as oats, millet, or brown rice) or foods that contain only them (such as whole wheat bread, popcorn, or oatmeal). Try to snack on fresh fruits and vegetables instead of a candy bar or chips. Foods such as whole apples or carrot sticks are naturally rich in nutrients and have not been processed.
