Fibravit Whole Wheat Flour
What it is
Fibravit is a finely milled whole wheat flour. It is made from the entire wheat kernel, including the bran and germ, which contributes to its slightly coarser texture and nutty flavor compared to refined flours. This flour is a staple for bakers seeking to incorporate more whole grains into their diet. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide range of baked goods and cooking applications.
How people cook with it
This whole wheat flour is excellent for adding a wholesome texture and flavor to your favorite recipes.

- Making pancakes
- Thickening sauces
- Creating muffins
When baking with Fibravit whole wheat flour, you may find it absorbs more liquid than all-purpose flour. It is often recommended to let doughs made with whole wheat flour rest for a bit longer to allow the flour to fully hydrate. For recipes that call for only all-purpose flour, you can often substitute a portion of it with Fibravit to boost the whole grain content. Experiment with different ratios to achieve your desired texture and flavor in breads, muffins, and other baked goods.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike refined white flour, Fibravit retains the bran and germ of the wheat kernel. This means it has a heartier texture and a more pronounced, earthy flavor. The presence of these components also affects how it behaves in baking, often resulting in denser baked goods compared to those made with refined flour.
Who it is for
Home bakers and cooks looking for a more substantial flour option will find Fibravit useful.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store Fibravit whole wheat flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, it can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. Ensure it is well-sealed to prevent moisture absorption and keep out pantry pests.
