About Wholemeal flour

Wholemeal flour is flour milled from the whole grain, retaining the bran and germ along with the starchy interior. The grain is not specified by this name alone, so the particular cereal and milling details may vary. It is a dry, finely ground ingredient, typically tan to brown and sometimes visibly flecked with bran.

It is used in baking and other doughs or batters, either on its own or blended with other flours. Its texture and flavour vary with the grain and grind, but it is generally more textured and pronounced in flavour than flour milled without the bran and germ. The label identifies a whole-grain flour, not one specific cereal.
