What it is

Enriched wheat flour is refined wheat flour that has added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron. It is made from the endosperm of wheat kernels, which is milled and then enriched.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add enriched wheat flour as a primary ingredient in baked goods, providing structure and texture. It is commonly found in bread, pasta, cookies, cakes, and as a component of crust mixes for pizzas and pies.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is considered a staple grain product in the US diet. The added vitamins and iron help restore nutrients lost during processing. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers enriched flour to be safe. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated flour and its enrichment components.
