Americans are always looking for ways to eat healthier and to add healthier food choices into their diets. Lately, they have begun to realize that making simple choices like adding more whole grain to what they eat regularly can make a big difference in their lives. Switching to Gold Medal® White Whole Wheat flour can help you bake and coat your foods with some of that whole grain goodness. Unlike most whole wheat flours that are made from hard red spring wheat, Gold Medal® White Whole Wheat flour is made with hard white spring wheat. So, it’s whole grain, but with a similar taste and texture to all-purpose white flour. This means that you don't have to compromise taste in order to make better dietary choices.
