It is an ideal flour for making bread, cake, pastry, and muffin.
Wheat consists of three layers: bran, endosperm and germ. Whole wheat produced by grinding these three layers without separating. Thus, whole wheat flour is the flour which contains “the wheat grain in whole”.
Endosperm, which approximately constitutes 80% of the cereal, as known as the middle layer, is the source of protein, carbohydrates, and some vitamins. In particular, it is rich in starch.
Germ is the name given to the core part of the wheat. This internal layer constitutes only 2.5% of the wheat in weight. It contains vitamins E and B, trace minerals, unsaturated fats (omega 3 and 6), phytochemicals, and antioxidants, and forms the core of the cereal. Germ destroys the free radicals which are known to be hazardous to human health. It is very effective in protecting our health and fighting diseases.
We, the A&L ORGANIK, contract organic farmers to grow our wheat. Our organic wheat is grown free of any chemicals or pesticides. No hormones or fertilizers are applied for a better or faster yield. The virgin soil free of chemicals and synthetics provides the plant all the power to naturally grow.
