Start here... Whole grain flour is packed with fibre. Rye flour tops the list at 15-17% fibre, and that happens to be what the majority of our crispbreads are baked with. As an example, WASA Fiber has 24% fibre. Whole grain flour contains all three parts of the grain – all the outer shell(bran), the germ and the main part, the endosperm. It can be ground in various ways, from really fine to quite coarse. Ordinary flour is sifted, which usually removes the bran and the germ.
