Do people in those countries typically eat whole wheat or "enriched" white flour? Fortification of white flour attempts to replace the nutrition that was stripped away by processing, with only partial success. Whole wheat is rarely fortified with anything since it doesn't need it.

We normally use "normal" white flour for many things like cakes and pasta and stuff. But we have maybe more "real" bread which is not made of white flour?
Germany definitely has high quality nutritious bread, that much I'm certain of.

(Disclaimer: not German, but Dutch. Our "normal" bread is weak and soft and spongy compared to German bread, even the whole wheat variety, which I eat almost exclusively because it's still more nutritious)
