Whole wheat flour is an excellent source of dietary fiber. It also has protein, so it is a good choice for making bread varieties. It is one of the world’s most commonly consumed food grains.
Wheat flour is the main ingredient used in baking, making different kinds of pasta, noodles, etc.
Whole wheat flour is one of my pantry staples. I always keep a pack of whole wheat flour in my pantry.
I use whole wheat flour to make Indian bread varieties like chapattis and puris. Sometimes I use it for baking as well.
