Flour made from whole grains, retaining nutrients and fiber.

Where it comes from

Whole wheat flour, milled from the entire grain including bran and germ, is the oldest form of wheat flour — the everyday bread flour before industrial milling stripped the grain white.

In the kitchen

Nutty and hearty, it makes chapati, whole-grain breads and rustic bakes with more flavour and fibre.

Across cuisines

Whole wheat flour is made from whole grains, retaining the bran, germ, and endosperm, which preserves its nutrients and fiber. It is commonly used in baking bread, pastries, and other baked goods to add a hearty texture and nutty flavor. Whole wheat flour can vary in coarseness, affecting the texture of the final product.
