For decades, white flour has been the basis for the majority of our breads, pastas, pizza crusts, baked goods and breakfast cereals. Food manufacturers have simply been trying to give us what we’re used to. But if the popularity of quinoa has taught us anything, it’s that Americans are ready to accept different grains in our diets even if they don’t taste the same as white flour....
