Wholewheat flour

Wholewheat flour is a type of flour made from grinding the entire wheat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. This means it contains more nutrients and fiber compared to white flour, as the bran and germ are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It comes from the plant known as wheat, which is a staple grain in many cuisines around the world.

To make wholewheat flour, producers start by cleaning the wheat berries to remove any impurities. The cleaned wheat is then milled to break down the grains into a fine powder, resulting in wholewheat flour. This flour retains the natural goodness found in the entire wheat kernel, making it a healthier alternative to refined white flour.

Wholewheat flour is a common ingredient in many baked goods like bread, cakes, and pastries. It adds a nutty flavour and hearty texture to foods while providing extra fibre and nutrients. Including wholewheat flour in your diet can help support digestive health and provide a slower release of energy, making you feel fuller for longer. Next time you pick up a loaf of wholemeal bread or a wholewheat pastry, remember that it's not just about taste – it's also about nourishing your body with the goodness of whole grains.
