Notes

When you are first introducing wheat to your diet, start out small. Try 1/4 cup whole wheat flour and the remaining white. Over time, replace more and more of the white flour for whole wheat. Even if you only get a small amount of whole wheat, you are gaining a lot of nutrients that are otherwise not present.
