Multigrain refers to a type of bread or grain product that is made from a combination of different grains, such as wheat, rye, oats, barley, and others, instead of just one single type of grain. The grains are mixed together to create a bread or product that has a more complex flavor, texture, and nutritional profile compared to a product made from a single grain. Multigrain products are often marketed as being healthier and more nutritious than their single-grain counterparts, as they provide a broader range of essential nutrients and fiber.
