What it is

Wheat flour is made from wheat grains that have been milled into a fine powder. 'Unbleached' means it has not been treated with chemicals to whiten it. 'Enriched' means that certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron have been added back after milling, as they are partially removed during processing.

Why it's used

Flour is a primary ingredient in baked goods, providing structure and texture. It is used in a wide variety of products, including bread, cakes, cookies, pastries, and pasta. As a dough component, it forms the base for many prepared meals and desserts.

Health notes

Wheat flour is a staple food in many diets. Enriched flour provides important nutrients. The FDA considers enriched wheat flour safe for consumption. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated flour and related components. Some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to wheat.

Allergen info
