Patent ID: 8017172

Claim:
A whole grain wheat flour, comprising: a coarse fraction comprising at least 97% by weight bran and germ blended with a refined flour constituent such that the whole grain wheat flour comprises substantially the same proportions of natural constituents, other than moisture, compared to a whole grain wheat kernel; a particle size distribution such that at least about 98% of particles by weight of the whole grain wheat flour are less than 212 micrometers, wherein 2% to 30% of the particles by weight are over 150 micrometers, 30% to 90% of the particles by weight are over 75 micrometers, 65% to 95% of the particles by weight are over 38 micrometers, and 0% to 30% of the particles by weight are less than 38 micrometers, wherein the particle size distribution is determined by a jet sieve; and a measured ash value that is at least 97% of an expected ash value for the whole grain wheat kernel.
