The chickenpox vaccine is a shot that can protect nearly anyone who receives the vaccine from catching chickenpox. It's also called the varicella vaccine, because chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The vaccine is made from a live but weakened, or attenuated, virus. Viruses that have been attenuated are less virulent than viruses that are not.
The term whole grain refers to a variety of grains, including wheat, corn, rice, oats and rye, which are still in their natural form. Whole grains have a bran, germ and endosperm. To be considered a whole grain, the entire grain must still be intact and not just the endosperm, as is the case in refined grains.
A whole grain is any grain (not just wheat!) which maintains all three of its parts: the bran, the germ, and the endosperm. Keeping all three parts of the grain means that you keep all of the beneficial components the whole grain has to offer. Our fresh ground whole wheat flour retains all the protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that are naturally found in the whole wheat kernel. We donât remove anything.
