Graham flour is a type of whole wheat flour that is coarsely ground, primarily derived from wheat. It is known for its use in making Graham crackers and other baked goods. This flour retains more nutrients compared to refined white flour because it includes parts of the wheat germ and bran, making it a healthier, more nutritious choice.

Considerations

Graham flour offers health benefits due to its high content of fiber, protein, and essential nutrients. It can help improve digestive health, support weight management, and contribute to a balanced diet.

Culinary Use Versatile in use, Graham flour can be used to make bread, crackers, cheesecake bases, and other baked goods. It offers a slightly coarser texture and richer flavor compared to refined white flour.

Storage Should be stored in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness, as the fat content of the wheat germ can cause it to spoil more quickly than refined flour.
