Meh, they're really not that much different unless the flour is "100% whole wheat."
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.
No matter how much fiber it has it is unhealthy if it has enriched bleached wheat flour, which is almost the same as white flour.
wheaten , white is full of calories, sugar and salt.
There is no yeast at all in enriched flour. Enriched flour has a few specific nutrients added to replace some of the nutrients lost when the bran and germ are removed from whole wheat to produce white flour. Yeast must be added to enriched flour if it is used to make bread. See the Wikipedia article linked below for additional information.
White flour. Enriched flour has had some nutrients added to it, while white flour has been ground and bleached.
No, gluten free pasta is made of corn flour and/or rice flour neither of which contain gluten instead of the durum wheat flour and?or semolina wheat flour both of which contain gluten (present in all wheat based products).
Flour oftentimes goes through a process known as bleaching. This makes the white baking flour most people are accustomed to and which they like to use in baking; however, while this makes the flour more suitable to common baked goods, it also strips much of the nutritional value from the flour. Vitamins are sometimes added to this flour making it 'enriched' white flour. By not doing the bleaching process, you retain the whole wheat aspect of the flour, making it healthier and heartier, and don't necessarily need to 'enrich' the flour.
Most things you can replace 1/3 to 1/2 of regular flour with whole wheat flour. The end product will be heavier and some things may tend to fall apart easier. Some things have to have only regular flour.
Most people use an all-purpose white flour made from wheat, but I've seen recipes that called for whole wheat, rice, or buckwheat flours as well
Whole wheat flour still contains the germ of the wheat, whereas white flour does not. The wheatgerm is where the grain stores fats/oils, which are intended help the grain to germinate again if it were planted rather than ground into flour. However these oils tend to go rancid easily, which is why white flour has better keeping qualities.
Not especially, although there are fierce arguments over trivia concerning nutrition and food in general. The differences between flour milling techniques are fairly small. "Enriched" bread is called "enriched" because it is made with extra vitamins and minerals not naturally found in wheat. For people who live on the edge of rickets and other diseases of malnutrition, it can be important in preventing such diseases.
Flour is wheat that has been ground to a fine powder. White flour has the wheat "husk" or germ removed.
