Bread: Organic Whole Wheat Flour

Organic whole wheat flour is a powder made by grinding the entire wheat grain, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. The 'organic' designation means the wheat was grown and processed according to organic farming standards. It is a staple ingredient in many baked goods.

Manufacturers use organic whole wheat flour as a primary ingredient in a wide range of baked goods, including breads, muffins, and pastries. It provides structure, texture, and a nutty flavor, while also contributing dietary fiber and nutrients to the final product.

Whole wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a whole grain, it is a source of dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole wheat flour as a food additive, but rather as a food ingredient. There are no notable controversies regarding the safety of whole wheat flour itself, though some individuals have sensitivities to gluten.
