What are Whole Grain Flours?

They are the flours made by grinding cereal crops or grains and have the compositional ingredients of all three parts of the kernel i.e. bran, germ, and endosperm.

Why are they used?

Highly Nutritious- Rich in various important nutrients, including Vitamins, Minerals, Protein and Fibre
Very Fulfilling- Help one feel fuller for longer, prevent overeating and thus reduce the risk of obesity
Easily Digestible- Due to their high fiber content, they add bulk to stools and promote beneficial gut bacteria and thus improve digestion
