Graham flour

When wheat is simply reduced to a meal by grinding it once or twice and not removing it any bran, etc, it is known as Graham flour.

Graham flour contains all of the constituents of the wheat grain in their natural proportions. This type of flour has some advantages from the point of view of food value over a flour that does not contain the bran and the germ.
