Sneaky Flour Blend

Whole Wheat Flour features many important nutrients that ultimately get stripped away when wheat is further processed into white flour. Whole wheat is an excellent source of manganese, magnesium and tryptophan. It is rich in fiber, which helps regulate digestion, prevents constipation, and stabilizes blood sugar levels, making us feel satisfied longer. It also protects against insulin resistance that can be a precursor to diabetes.

Whole grains can help fight obesity as well. A Harvard Medical School study published in the November 2003 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that women who consumed more fiber-rich whole grains weigh less than those who eat more refined wheat products, and those consuming the most dietary fiber from whole grains were 49 percent less likely to gain weight compared to those eating foods made from refined grains.
