Whole wheat flour type 2000
Description
Whole grain wheat flour type 2000 is a flour with a darker, brownish hue and a coarser, slightly grainy texture, which gives dishes a distinct, nutty-earthy aroma and a fuller flavor than white flours. It contains the whole grain, making it rich in fiber, plant protein, B vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium, iron, and zinc, which support digestion, provide a feeling of fullness, and positively affect glucose metabolism. Typical uses include whole grain breads, flatbreads, whole grain rolls, dumplings, and savory pancakes, as well as blends with white flour for a more delicate texture. When working with it, it's advisable to increase the amount of liquid and the rising time of the dough. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place; due to the presence of oils from the bran, it can also be kept in the refrigerator or frozen to extend freshness.
