What it is
Cultured unbleached wheat flour is made by fermenting unbleached wheat flour with beneficial bacteria and yeasts. This process, often called 'culturing' or 'proofing,' can develop a more complex flavor and texture in baked goods. Unbleached flour means it hasn't been treated with bleaching agents.
Why it's used
Cultured unbleached wheat flour is primarily used as a leavening agent in bread and baked goods, helping them rise and develop a desirable texture. It can also contribute a slightly tangy flavor. It is commonly found in breads, rolls, and some prepared sandwich items.
Health notes
Cultured unbleached wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some nutrients found in wheat. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar flour products, generally considering them safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical consumption.
Allergen info
Cultured unbleached wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten.
