Heckers 100% Whole Wheat Flour

Transform your baking with Heckers 100% Whole Wheat Flour, a cornerstone ingredient that brings wholesome nutrition and rich, nutty flavor to all your favorite recipes. This whole wheat flour is made from grinding the entire wheat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm, delivering more fiber, protein, and nutrients compared to refined white flour. Heckers has been a trusted name in American baking since 1843, earning a loyal following among home bakers and professional chefs throughout the Northeast and beyond. This 100% whole wheat flour works beautifully in a wide range of baking applications, from hearty whole wheat bread and dinner rolls to nutritious pancakes, muffins, and cookies. You can substitute it for up to half the all-purpose flour in most recipes, or use it entirely for denser, more substantial baked goods. The flour's robust flavor pairs exceptionally well with ingredients like honey, molasses, nuts, and dried fruits. When baking with whole wheat flour, keep in mind that it absorbs more liquid than white flour, so you may need to add slightly more moisture to your recipes. Let batters and doughs rest for a few minutes before baking to allow the bran to fully hydrate, resulting in better texture. Store your Heckers whole wheat flour in a cool, dry place or refrigerate it to maintain freshness longer, as the natural oils in the wheat germ can cause it to go rancid more quickly than refined flours.
