About Wheat flour, whole-grain

Whole-grain wheat flour is milled from the entire wheat kernel — the starchy endosperm plus the fibrous bran and the nutrient-rich germ that white flour discards. That makes it darker, coarser and more flavorful, with a nutty depth that white flour lacks, and it is the foundation of wholemeal bread and heartier baked goods.

These figures are for dry flour, at about 340 calories per 100 grams, and the standout difference from white flour is the nutrition the bran and germ bring back: far more fiber, plus B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It also carries a little more protein. Like all wheat flour it contains gluten, so it is not suitable for people with celiac disease or a wheat allergy.

Whole-grain flour absorbs more liquid and its bran cuts the gluten strands, so breads made entirely with it rise less and bake denser; many recipes blend it with white flour for a lighter loaf. Stored cool, ideally in the fridge or freezer, it keeps longer because the oils in the germ are prone to going rancid.
