What it is
Wheat flour is the most common type of flour used in baking and cooking. It is made by grinding wheat kernels, which are the seeds of the wheat plant. Different types of wheat flour are produced depending on the part of the kernel used and the type of wheat.
Why it's used
Wheat flour is a primary ingredient in baked goods, providing structure and texture. It is used in bread, cakes, cookies, pasta, and as a thickener in sauces and gravies. Its gluten content allows dough to rise and gives baked goods their chewy texture.
Health notes
Wheat flour is a staple food and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins and iron, especially when enriched. Whole wheat flour also provides fiber. JECFA has evaluated it and set an acceptable daily intake. Some individuals have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which requires avoiding wheat.
Allergen info
Wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
