It can be said that wheat flour is a type of brown flour because of its dark color, but it differs from brown flour in some points: wheat flour is made from the whole wheat grain, whereas brown flour is 85% of the whole grain, with a small part of the outer shell (bran) and the germ (embryo or seed) removed before grinding. Wheat flour contains higher amounts of fiber, protein, minerals, and vitamins compared to brown flour. The color of wheat flour is darker than that of brown flour. Wheat flour contains a higher amount of gluten, thus giving the dough more cohesion than brown flour. In fact, there are different types of brown flour based on their dark color, such as oat flour and quinoa flour, but wheat flour or whole wheat flour is considered one of the best types of brown flour. On the other hand, white flour contains 75% of the wheat grain because most of the bran and germ are removed before grinding, making it less nutritious than brown flour. 4- How to use wheat flour You can use whole wheat flour in: making bread and pastries as a healthy alternative to white flour, preparing healthy pancakes and desserts, and sandwiches. It should be noted that wheat flour contains gluten, so it is not suitable for celiac disease or malabsorption patients, who should look for other gluten-free flours such as millet flour and red corn flour. In conclusion, you can order wheat flour and other types of healthy flour from Shumul Herbs to be delivered anywhere in the Kingdom, and adorn your table with healthy desserts.
