All-purpose flour is ground to a specific coarseness between the finer cake flour and the coarser bread flour. It is made from the bulghur of the wheat berry.
Wheat grains are made up of 3 parts. The Germ, or small nut at the base from which the grass is germinated and begins to grow. The bulghur, the meaty larger part of the grain full of protein and carbohydrates to feed the germinated grass. And the bran or aril, the papery fibrous outer covering of the seed which protects it until it grows. Whole wheat flour uses the whole seed, white flours only the bulghur.
