Whole Grain Flour

What is it?

Whole grain flour contains all three parts of the grain: bran, germ, and endosperm. This makes it much more nutritious than refined flour, with higher fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Regular consumption of whole grains is associated with reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Look for "100% whole grain" or "100% whole wheat" on labels.
