What it is
Whole grain white flour is made from the entire wheat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. The bran and germ are typically removed from refined white flour. It is milled from wheat, a common cereal grain.
Why it's used

Health notes
Whole grain white flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Some research suggests that diets rich in whole grains may be associated with a reduced risk of certain chronic diseases. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated whole grains.
