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.

Is Enriched Flour Organic or Inorganic?
Enriching flour is the process of adding vitamins and minerals (required by law) to flour. As vitamins and minerals are usually 'naturally' occuring, the flour can still be 'organic', so long as the vitamins/minerals are produced by 'organic' means.
Is enriched wheat flour a whole grain?
Answer 2There are not enough enriching vitamins and minerals in enriched flour products for even a small child to eat enough flour to overdose on the vitamins and minerals. Enriched flour is NOT "just flour with vitamins and minerals added to improve the nutritional value" The flour processors, in processing whole grain wheat into "WHITE" flour [also referred to as "Enriched"flour], in effect "grind off all the good stuff," leaving nothing but almost pure starch.When they finish milling the flour, there are NO vitamins,minerals, or FIBER left, they are all removed in the milling process. In order to give it some nutritional value, they then add-back SOME vitamins and minerals, but the result is NOT NEARLY so nutritious as if they had simply ground the whole wheat grain into flour. But then, the flour would not be "white," and "pretty."Now, today, IF one keeps up with the large number of health studies, we see results of recent clinical studies that confirm what my doctor told me nearly 30 years ago.Again, the answer to the question whether enriched flour [highly processed "white" flour] is bad for you, the answer is a resounding yes.
