Not licensed vs blanched: what flour is healthier?

Both have fewer fibers if they are refined

Whether not bleached or bleached, any refined flour will have much less fiber. This is because the refined grains are strawberry to eliminate the sound and the germ of the wheat nucleus, leaving only endosperm – the starchy inner part. Consequently, the flour will have a more pleasant texture and a prolonged shelf life, but much fewer nutrients, including fibers, B vitamins and iron, according to the American department of agriculture (USDA).

Some brands of flour will add B vitamins and iron to the recipe (alias enriched with flour), but often not fiber. So, if you are looking to add more fibers to your diet, try to eat a lot of whole grains – whole wheat, oats, brown rice and barley – in addition to enriched products, according to USDA.

The Mayo clinic says fibers can help reduce cholesterol levels, prevent constipation, fill you with less calories and help you live longer by reducing your risk of diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
