Flour, Fiber and Calorie Chart

Those who regularly bake their own bread, pizzas or muffins, or make pasta at home with a pasta machine, will find the following chart useful as a guide to the comparative fiber and calorie values of various flours. This chart can also serve as a guide in selecting commercial breads. Look at the ingredient list on the label before purchasing to see which whole grains (if any) are included. The proportion is indicated by the order in which ingredients are listed; those in greatest proportion come first. Don't be fooled by the expression "wheat-flour" if the word "whole" is not in front of it. This is another way of saying "white flour" and making it sound better than it is.
