What is the elaborate white flour?
A cereal consists of outer grain (bran), the core (the embryo) and the middle layer of carbohydrate. The outer part of the grain is rich in fiber, antioxidants and vitamin B.
The embryo contains minerals, proteins and fats. During grain milling, flour companies drop the bran and embryo and leave just the inner layer of grain carbohydrates.
To make the flour the most 'healthy', the manufacturing companies enrich it with the basic nutrients that the body needs. However, no matter how "enriched" it is, white flour remains not at all values
