Message: Is WHITE Whole Wheat flour same as Whole wheat flour? I saw that Trader Joe's sells the White Whole wheat and was wondering if I can use that to make the flour blend. Thank you!
Dear Rose,
You can certainly use white wholewheat flour to make my Flour Blend. In fact, you'll also see on my homepage that I recommend "Ultragrain," which has this type of wholewheat flour in it.
Basically, white wholewheat flour is made from albino wheat, which means it is lighter in color than regular wholewheat flour (which is made from red wheat), so less treatment is needed in order to make it look like regular white flour. But it has the nutritious profile of wholewheat. Most people can't tell the difference between regular white flour and white wholewheat flour, so that's another "sneaky" perk.
Hope this helps!
Missy
