Definition

Noun: * Flour made from the entire wheat kernel: A type of flour produced by milling the complete wheat berry, which includes the bran (outer layer), germ (nutrient-rich core), and endosperm (starchy part). This results in a flour that is darker, denser, and more nutritious than refined white flour. The term 'whole meal flour' is the common British English equivalent.

Advanced Usage
