Does all-purpose flour contain bran and germ?
yes
What is the difference between wheat flour and white flour What does it mean for flour to be enriched What does it mean for a flour to be refined?
Whole wheat flour is just that, wheat that is ground into flour with nothing removed. White flour is just the middle part of the wheat kernel without the bran or wheat germ. Enriched flour has vitamins added to it to make up for the bran and wheat germ. Refined could mean any of these other than whole wheat.
Why is wholegrain flour healthier than normal flour?
It has the wheat germ and bran that has most of the nutrition in wheat flour.
When the bran and germ are removed in refining what else is removed?
The bran and germ of wheat have important key nutrients. When removed, the wheat loses fiber and protein. The glycemic index of the wheat is also raised as a result.
Wholegrain bread is made from the flour that has what in it?
Wholegrain bread is made from flour that has been ground from the entire wheat kernel which includes not only the endosperm (normal white flour), but also the outer shell (bran) and the germ, or actual reproducing seed of the plant. These two parts (bran and germ) are removed from the kernel in the processing and refinement of white flour. Each are valuable nutrients in themselves and are often sold individually.
What is whole wheat flower?
Whole wheat flour, also called graham flour, is made from the endosperm, bran, and germ combined; it has a higher protein content than regular white flour.
How is whole wheat made?

Can you substitute wheat germ for wheat bran in baking?
Yes, to some extent, both are rich in fiber BUT while the bran is made form the hard outer layer, the germ is the "heart" of the cereal kernel, the embryo of the seed, and has nutritional components not found in the bran.
Grain is covered by a dry papery husk called the germ?
False. It's called Bran
Is wheat a component of white flour?
Flour is wheat that has been ground to a fine powder. White flour has the wheat "husk" or germ removed.
What vitamins and minerals does flour have?
White flour is really just refined carbohydrates since the germ and bran have been removed. (The wheat germ is the most nutrient dense part of the grain; rich in vitamin E, zinc, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, foliate, vitamin B6, manganese, and selenium.) Most white flour is bleached and then vitamins and minerals are added back in through enrichment.One fourth a cup of whole grain flour contains more overall readily-available nutrients than enriched flour since the nutrition comes naturally. Unbleached whole grain flour includes the bran and germ; it therefore contains B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, iron, and disease-fighting phytochemicals and antioxidants.
advantages of low extraction flour over high extraction flour?
discard most of the rancidity prone nutritional minerals and oils associated with the bran and germ elements, of the wheat kernel.
