Flour of the first grade is used for inedible baking, products from it become stale more slowly, this is the main flour for baking bread .
Flour of the second grade contains up to 8% bran , which is why it is much darker than first-class flour, in Russia they make inedible products and white bread , and when mixed with rye flour, it is black .
The so-called “ whole grain products ” are baked from wallpaper flour, due to the presence of bran in such flour, the products from it have higher fiber and B vitamins than in products from higher grades of flour.
