What it is
Wheat flour is the fine powder made from the endosperm of wheat grains. It is a staple food ingredient produced by milling wheat kernels. The milling process separates the bran and germ from the starchy endosperm, which is then ground into flour.
Why it's used
Wheat flour is primarily used as a base for baked goods like bread, cakes, and cookies, providing structure and texture. It also functions as a thickener in sauces and gravies and is used in batters for frying.
Health notes
Wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins and iron, especially when enriched. Whole wheat flour also provides dietary fiber. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat and its components. While some individuals have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, for the general population, wheat flour is a common and safe food ingredient when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. It contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
