Whole Grain Flour Mixes For Baking

By Dominique Martin


Whole grains are full of valuable nutrients you won't find in white flour. In the process of production, two integral parts of grains get removed, and all that remains is called endosperm. This part contains very little minerals and vitamins, and it mainly consists of starchy carbohydrates and proteins. Bran and germ, on the other side, are full of fiber and vitamins, minerals and valuable anti-oxidants. Whole grain flour mixes for baking contain different nutritive grains.
