Graham Flour

<p>Rather than simply grinding the&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_grain" title="Whole grain" >whole grain</a>&nbsp;wheat kernel (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bran" title="Bran" >bran</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereal_germ" title="Cereal germ" >germ</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosperm" title="Endosperm" >endosperm</a>), in&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill" title="Gristmill" >roller-milled</a>&nbsp;graham flour the components are ground separately.&nbsp;</p>

<p>

The endosperm is ground finely, initially creating a fresh&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_flour#Unbleached_flour" title="White flour" class="mw-redirect" >unbleached yellowish-white flour</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>

The bran and germ are ground coarsely. The two parts are then recombined, creating a coarse-textured flour that bakes and keeps well (has a good&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelf_life" title="Shelf life" >shelf life</a>).&nbsp;</p>

<p>

Graham flour is used to make&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_cracker" title="Graham cracker" >graham crackers</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie" title="Pie" >pie</a>&nbsp;crusts, among other things.</p>

<p>

A substitute for it would be a mix of&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flour#Unbleached_flour" title="Flour" >unbleached white flour</a>, wheat <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bran" title="Bran" >bran</a>, and wheat&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereal_germ" title="Cereal germ" >germ</a>&nbsp;in the ratios found in whole wheat.</p>
