Nutrition Tip Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel, including the bran, germ and endosperm. Unlike refined grains, they contain fiber, phytonutrients as well as other vitamins and minerals that are important for supporting your immune system during and after cancer treatment. This whole grain bread recipe also gives you the added nutrient benefits of zucchini. Zucchini is a great source of the antioxidant vitamin C. Plus, the phytonutrients lutein and zeaxanthin promote healthy eyesight. When selecting zucchini, look for one with a slightly prickly and shiny skin. The skin should also be firm and free of cuts and bruises.
