What it is
Wheat flour is a powder made from grinding wheat grains. It is a staple ingredient in baking and cooking, used to make bread, pasta, cakes, and many other food products. Different types of wheat flour exist, varying in protein content and how finely they are milled.
Why it's used
Wheat flour is primarily used as a structural ingredient in baked goods, providing the base for doughs and batters. Its gluten content gives elasticity and chewiness to products like bread and pasta. It also acts as a thickener in sauces and gravies.
Health notes
Wheat flour is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates, fiber, and some B vitamins. Whole wheat flour contains more fiber and nutrients than refined white flour. Some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to wheat, such as celiac disease, which requires avoiding gluten found in wheat.
