Whole wheat flour

Consuming whole wheat products may assist you in increasing your chromium intake. Whole wheat English muffins have a high mineral content. One standard-sized (58-gram) muffin, for example, provides 10% of the DV. Other whole wheat baked products contain less of the mineral but may still assist you in increasing your consumption. A medium-sized (36-gram) piece of whole wheat bread, for example, has 1 mcg of chromium, or 3% of the DV.

Furthermore, whole wheat flour is high in protein and fiber, two nutrients that might help you lose weight by suppressing your hunger. A 1/4-cup (30-gram) portion of whole wheat flour has 4 grams of both nutrients. In nearly any recipe, whole wheat flour may be used in place of all-purpose flour.
