About Whole wheat flour
Whole-wheat flour is milled from wheat grain with the bran, germ and starchy interior retained. It is a fine, tan-to-brown powder, with coarseness and colour varying by wheat and milling method.
It is used in breads, pastries, noodles and other baked or cooked foods, alone or blended with other flours. Its flavour is wheaty and its texture can make baked goods heartier than those made with refined flour. This entry means whole-wheat flour, not wheat bran, germ or refined white flour.
