Is whole wheat pasta grain?

Here's why:

* Whole grains include the entire kernel of the grain, which consists of the bran, germ, and endosperm.

* Whole wheat pasta is made from whole wheat flour, which is ground from the entire wheat kernel, preserving all its nutrients and fiber.

In contrast, refined pasta is made from refined white flour, which only contains the endosperm, meaning it lacks the bran and germ, making it less nutritious.
