Excerpt: ...are most completely digested; the protein shows a wide variation, but is less perfectly assimilated than the other nutrients, owing partly to the fact that it is often hardened in cooking and partly that it is intimately bound up with cellulose in the bran coats. For this reason white flour shows a higher degree of digestibility for protein, than do whole wheat preparations..Nutritine Value. Cereals supply actual digestible nutriments to the body more cheaply than any other class of foods except the dried legumes.
