Do be careful if you are planning on laying in large stocks of wholewheat pasta

The word "whole" refers to the fact that all of the grain (bran, germ, and endosperm) is used and nothing is lost in the process of making the flour. This is in contrast to white, processed flours, which contain only the endosperm. Because the whole flour contains the remains of all of the grain, it has a textured, brownish appearance.

Whole wheat flour has a shorter shelf life than white flour, as the higher oil content leads to rancidification.
