@yenny Ahhh, I see! Well, I figure that unbleached has got to be more healthy than bleached flour, because I don’t see any good health effect that could come from bleaching, you know?

I mostly use it because it performs better in baking, doesn’t have an “off” taste, and because I like my baked goods not to be completely and utterly white. I think bleached flour looks sort of weird.

I do use it in a pinch, though.

@yenny I don’t think white flour is particularly healthy, no. But neither are marshmallow pumpkins, and that hasn’t stopped me yet. lol If we were perfect, we’d eat whole grains all the time, but we’re not perfect, so we don’t. We do eat whole grain breads at breakfast and lunch most of the time, but even when I make whole wheat bread, I use half whole wheat flour and half white flour.

Penny Saver, I’m hoping to go back too!

I did this stock-up too! I also got chocolate chips and walnuts with the sale, which I don’t normally splurge on. I think I’ll go back later in the week for more flour.
