Whole Wheat Flour

Whole wheat flour is natural and made from whole wheat. It isn' bleached and retains its golden brown color. Unlike other processed flours, whole wheat flour contains all the wheat germ and bran of the original grain. A heavy flour, it can be lightened by simply whisking it or sifting it.
