(Antonia)granary bread

Hello!

I don't understand the difference between the wholemeal bread and granary bread. Wholemeal means that it contains the grain which hasn't been processed (whole grain), doesn't it? What about granary? My dictionary says that it is a bread made of wheat. It is too broad explanation.

Thanks

Wholemeal bread is made from whole meal flour. this contains the whole grain so the bran and fibre parts as well, but it is all ground down to flour. Granary bread is usually brown (made with flour with most of the bran etc removed) but it also has actual whole or broken up grains (not ground down to flour) mixed into it.

Thank you Nona,

I didn't know that. Now it's much clearer, but still I don't know the equivalent expressions in my language.
