The difference between plain white flower and whole meal flour is that whole meal flour is a little denser. Also plain white flour is bleached so it looks white.

What is the difference between white flower and wholemeal flower?

White flour is made from just the endosperm of the wheat kernel, resulting in a lighter texture and milder flavor. Wholemeal flour, also known as whole wheat flour, includes the entire wheat kernel, providing more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Wholemeal flour is considered a healthier option compared to white flour due to its higher nutritional content.

Is there a difference in weight between wholemeal and flour?

I think what you're asking is will equal volumes of wholemeal and plain flour weigh the same?: the answer is no. Plain flour is made from wholemeal flour by sifting out all the bran and wheatgerm. It may be ground for longer too, so that it will pass through a finer-meshed sieve. This makes the flour lighter and because the particles are smaller they will pack together more densely. The result is that a cup packed with white flour may weigh more than a cup of wholemeal. You will have noticed that cake recipes often advise you to sift the flour before measuring - this is to counteract the settling effect that causes fine flour to become more compressed (and so weigh more per volume). If the recipe you are using is written using weights rather than volumes you need not concern yourself with the difference in weight and in any case the difference in weight between a cup of plain and a cup of wholemeal flour is minimal and will make no real difference to the recipe. You should note however, if you are making bread, that plain flour may well absorb more liquid than wholemeal. You may notice this effect too if you are using flour grown in your own country bur following a recipe from another nation. You can easily refine wholemeal flour by passing it through a sieve or sifter. This will separate out a good portion of the bran (which can be used in other recipes) and give a lighter and less coarse result in your baking.
