    Bleached Flour; Why?

    The bleaching process softens the flour. foods made with bleached flour tend to have a softer texture, more volume and brighter color. It's best for making cookies pie crusts quick breads muffins and pancakes.

    Yes I can understand those that prefer the simpler food presentations would not care for it but for those of us who like a lot of art in our presentation...I think this is very clever.

    Best way to peel a peach?
