Is graham flour the same as wheat flour?

Graham flour is a whole wheat flour, but it is not the same as traditional whole wheat flour. Graham flour contains all three parts of the wheat berry—the germ, the endosperm and the bran. The endosperm is ground finely into a traditional-looking flour, while the germ and bran are ground coarsely. The three are then combined to give the flour its signature look with coarse flakes mixed into the ivory-colored flour.
