whole wheat flour.

When the steel rolling mills came on the scene that started sifting the bran and germ away, that's the way all of the commercially milled flour is now.

And so what they do to make whole grain flours, then they'll add some of that bran and germ back in.

And so I don't trust it.

You

then that might be the best option for you.

But it's typically expensive.

I mean, it's cheaper to mill your own and faster.

What does it mean when your flour says unbleached or enriched white?

Unbleached means they did not use the chlorine derivatives or benzoyl peroxide to bleach the flour.

You know, when they separate the bran and germ, the residual oils from the germ cause some yellowing in that white flour.

And oh my goodness, we couldn't have yellow flour.

So they were like, okay, we got to bleach it.

So a product called nitrogen trichloride was used for more than 25 years until they discovered that it caused seizures and hyperactivity in dogs.

So they went, oh, well, we can't use that.

So we'll still use a chlorine derivative to bleach the flower.

Benzyl peroxide is another bleaching agent.

So a lot of people do opt for that where they're like, well, at least I'm not getting those bleaching agents.

So they'll do the unbleached.

But enriched is a deceptive term that as a food scientist, I didn't realize how deceptive it was until I learned this.
