Reply to comment by wtfsafrush in ELI5: What do food product labels that say “whole wheat” or “100% whole grain wheat” mean? Are these better for health? by acousticentropy

I've never baked with whole wheat flour, but supposedly whole wheat baked stuff tends to be coarser, dryer, tougher, denser, and has a stronger flavor. All in all, supposedly it's more difficult to get a good bread out of whole-wheat flour. Generally, we want our breads to be light, soft, and fluffy.

Also, whole wheat flour has a a shorter shelf life.
