What it is
Wheat flour is the fine powder made from grinding wheat grains. It is a staple food ingredient used worldwide, forming the base for many baked goods and other food products. The type of wheat and the milling process determine the flour's characteristics, such as its protein content and texture.
Why it's used
Flour provides structure and bulk to baked goods like bread, cakes, cookies, and pastries. Its gluten content allows dough to rise and hold its shape during baking. It is also used as a thickening agent in sauces and gravies.

Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat flour and its components. While generally recognized as safe for consumption, some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to wheat.
