Patent flours come from the heart of the endosperm and are the purest, highest-quality commercial flours available. Depending on how much of of the straight flour (100% of the kernel with bran and germ removed) it contains, a bread flour is either short (70-80%), medium (80-90%), or long patent (90-95%). In general, higher a flour's extraction rate from straight flour, the darker its color and the higher its protein content. |
