Whole Wheat Flour

Whole Wheat Flour

‘Whole wheat’ flour is one that includes the bran and germ layers (not just the starchy endosperm). Choose this whole wheat flour and you will receive nutrition benefits including fiber, B vitamins, zinc, iron, vitamin E, and essential carbohydrates. Carbohydrates from wheat flour are absorbed slowly so they do not create a dramatic blood sugar spike, making this flour a nice carbohydrate alternative for people with diabetes and other blood sugar challenges. The high fiber content enhances digestion, which can reduce feelings of stomach discomfort. With the nutrition and health benefits, adding whole wheat flour to your pantry is an easy choice.

Whole wheat flour adds a slighty nutty flavor to your recipes, which can delight senses when used in breads, waffles, pancakes, cookies, and muffins. Try an applesauce spice bread recipe and mix the whole wheat flour with your favorite spices including cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg for a moist, sweet treat. Since the wheat flour contains the bran and germ, remember to add time in your preparation to let the flour sit in with the liquids as hydration may take a bit longer than with white flour. The enhanced flavor and nutrition are worth the wait.

Purchase enough of whole wheat flour in bulk so you never run out of this healthy alternative and can use it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Available in wholesale quantities of 2-pound bags, 25-pound sacks, and 50-pound sacks, whole wheat flour becomes one of your essential, base ingredients.
