The whole wheat flour is dark brown in color and is used in making rotis and parathas whereas the white wheat flour which is also called as enriched wheat flour is used in bread, cookies, cakes etc. The whole wheat flour has more nutritional values than the enriched wheat flour because of that only, people nowadays are opting to use whole wheat flour in their diet.
