can you clarify what white whole wheat flour is? I’m not familiar with this kind of flour.
thanks.
Great question! A lot of people get confused by this, as it seems like an oxymoron. We often call it “white flour” to refer to refined wheat flour. However, there is a variety of wheat that is called “white wheat” because it is a variety of wheat kernels that are lighter in color and lighter in bitter compounds. You can purchase white wheat in its whole wheat form, so it is considered a whole grain, even though it is lighter in color. It’s a great option for baking when you don’t want the dark color in the final result.
