- For baking I usually use premium wheat flour. But there are a lot of other options in the store: rice, oatmeal, whole grain… Is it worth buying them or is it just a marketing ploy?

– I advise you to replace premium wheat flour with another. After all, the coarser the flour is ground, the more benefits this product brings to the body, explains nutritionist, nutritionist Olga SHUKH. – Premium wheat flour loses in this regard – it has the finest grinding. It is obtained from the central part of the endosperm of wheat grain, where there are no useful substances. There is only a high starch content and a small amount of protein. So it turns out that the lower the grade of wheat flour, the more benefits it has. Since it preserves the microelements and vitamins that were in the grain.
In general, it is best to choose wholemeal flour – it contains the vitamins and minerals the body needs. The leaders are whole grain, wallpaper, and peeled flour. Instead of premium wheat flour, you can add rice, corn and oat flour to baked goods.
