100% Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour

100% stone ground whole wheat flour is made from the entire wheat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. It is produced by grinding the whole wheat berries between two stones. This process retains more of the natural nutrients and fiber compared to refined wheat flour.

Manufacturers use whole wheat flour to add a nutty flavor, coarser texture, and nutritional value to baked goods. It is commonly found in breads, bagels, pita bread, and other bakery items. Its whole grain content contributes to the structure and density of these products.

Whole wheat flour is recognized as a whole grain and is a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA considers whole grains to be part of a healthy dietary pattern. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated whole wheat flour and its components. Evidence suggests that diets rich in whole grains are associated with various health benefits, though specific claims require careful consideration of the overall diet.
