What it is

Wheat flour is a powder made from grinding wheat grains. It is a staple ingredient in baking and cooking, forming the base for many common foods. The type of wheat and how it's milled affects the flour's properties.

Why it's used

Flour provides structure and texture to baked goods. It is essential for making bread, cakes, cookies, pasta, and many other processed foods. Manufacturers use it as a primary ingredient for its binding and thickening qualities.

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. The WHO has not established a specific intake level for flour itself. While whole wheat flour offers more fiber and nutrients, refined wheat flour is lower in these components.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Wheat flour contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
