Organic wheat flour is made from whole grain of organic soft wheat, including bran and germ. Due to this fact, such flour contains more vitamins, minerals and nutrients than regular wheat flour. Whole wheat flour is a valuable product for a healthy diet.Ash content is one of the main characteristics of this flour. It displays the content of minerals which remain after flour burning (minerals do not burn). The lower the ash content, the whiter the flour. Whole wheat flour has a high ash content, since the whole grain with a bran is used for its production.
The content of protein (9-15%), mainly glutenin and gliadin, is the second important characteristic of the flour. Gliadin and glutenin percentage determines the dough quality. Glutenin provides it elasticity and stickiness, and due to gliadin the dough is stretched. Kneading turns gliadin and glutenin in combination with water into gluten, which forms a crumb. Roughly speaking, the higher the gluten content, the higher the flour strength. Bran particles in whole wheat flour weaken the gluten structure and hold a lot of water. Although this flour contains a lot of protein and minerals, it is difficult to make bread from this flour because the dough is "weak". To avoid this, we recommend mixing the whole wheat with high grade (all-purpose) flour at a ratio of 50%:50% or 10%:90% respectively.
