About Whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour is a nutrient-rich flour made by grinding the entire wheat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. This process preserves its natural fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a healthier alternative to refined white flour, which lacks these components. With a slightly nutty flavor, whole wheat flour is commonly used in baking bread, pancakes, pasta, and other recipes across various cuisines, particularly those with European and Middle Eastern origins. Its high fiber content supports digestion and heart health, while its protein contributes to strong muscles and sustained energy. However, whole wheat flour does contain gluten, making it unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Additionally, its denser texture can impact the fluffiness of baked goods compared to refined counterparts. Overall, whole wheat flour is a wholesome ingredient that promotes balanced nutrition and a robust diet.
