Flours made from type 1, type 2 and whole grains are richer in nutrients and fiber compared to the more commonly used type 0 and 00 flours. This is because, due to the lower level of refinement during milling, a greater amount of the nutrients contained in the germ and bran is preserved. The less refined the grain, the higher the nutritional quality of the flour. This overall quality has a positive impact on consumers’ health, as less refined flours are higher in fiber and have a better glycemic index.
