Whole grain couscous is made from whole durum wheat semolina, which retains the bran and germ of the grain. It contains more fiber, protein, and micronutrients than regular couscous made from white flour. Preparation is very quick, simply pour boiling water or broth over it and let it sit for 5 minutes. It works well as a side dish for meat, vegetables, and legumes, or as a base for cold salads. The flavor is fuller and earthier compared to the lighter variety. It is popular in North African and Mediterranean cuisine and pairs easily with spices such as coriander, turmeric, and cumin.

Whole grain mustard is a type of mustard in which the mustard seeds are left whole or only coarsely ground, giving it a characteristic grainy texture. It is less sharp than Dijon mustard but distinctly aromatic with a mildly spicy finish.

It pairs excellently with roasted meats, sausages or as part of a mustard vinaigrette. It adds both texture and flavor to dishes. It is made from brown or yellow mustard seeds combined with vinegar and spices.

Whole grain pasta is made from whole wheat flour, which retains the bran and germ of the grain.

Whole green peas are dried, unhulled green peas that retain their skin, full round shape, and deep green color. They require longer soaking (4-8 hours or overnight) and longer cooking, after which they have a firmer texture and a slightly nuttier flavor than green split peas. Perfect for Nordic green soups, cooking whole as a side dish, salads, or Indian matar dal. An excellent source of plant protein, fiber, and minerals.

Whole milk contains at least 3.5% fat and is considered the most wholesome dairy option. Thanks to its higher fat content, it has a richer, creamier taste and consistency than other types. It is a source of calcium, protein, vitamins A, D, B12, and healthy fatty acids. In the kitchen, it is ideal wherever full flavor and creamy texture matter, in sauces, desserts, creams, coffee, or baked goods. When making béchamel or creamy soups, it delivers better results than lower-fat alternatives. Whole milk also whips more easily. It is ideal for the nutritious diet of children and athletes.

Whole peppercorns are dried berries of the pepper plant that retain their aroma far longer than ground pepper, thanks to their intact outer skin. The most common variety is black pepper, but white, green, and red peppercorns are also widely used. Whole peppercorns are added to stocks, marinades, pickling brines, and slow-cooked meat or legume dishes. They are a key component of many spice blends. They are typically removed from the dish before serving. To preserve their fresh, sharp flavour, store them in a sealed container away from light and moisture.

Whole yellow peas are dried, unhulled yellow peas that, unlike split peas, retain their skin and full round shape. They require longer soaking (4-8 hours or overnight) and longer cooking, but offer a more substantial texture and a mildly nutty flavor. Perfect for hearty soups, stews, salads, Indian dal, or for grinding into homemade pea flour. An excellent source of plant protein, fiber, and minerals.

It is a popular choice in rustic and farmhouse-style dishes.

Wholemeal flour is made by grinding the entire grain of a cereal, preserving all its components, the endosperm, germ, and bran. As a result, it contains more fibre, B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than white flour. It has a characteristic darker colour and a fuller, slightly nutty flavour.

It has a darker colour and a pronounced earthy, slightly sour flavour typical of traditional rye bread. It is used primarily for baking rye and wholemeal bread, often in combination with wheat flour to improve rising. It is particularly popular in northern and central Europe, where it forms the basis of a rich bread-baking tradition. Its high fibre content supports healthy digestion.

Wide spinach noodles are a popular type of pasta that owes its distinctive green colour and subtle flavour to the addition of spinach. The spinach is worked directly into the dough, giving the noodles a characteristic appearance and a mildly herby taste. They pair particularly well with rich sauces, cream-based, cheese or meat ragù. Their larger surface ensures the sauce coats every strand perfectly. They are a favourite choice for baked dishes such as lasagne or vegetable pasta bakes. Thanks to the spinach content, they provide slightly more fibre and minerals than regular pasta.
