What it is
Enriched flour is made from wheat flour that has had certain nutrients added back after processing. The refining process removes the bran and germ, which contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Enrichment adds back B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add enriched flour to baked goods to improve their nutritional value and texture. It is a primary ingredient in many breads, cereals, crackers, cookies, and pasta products, providing structure and a neutral base for other flavors.
Health notes
Enriched flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients can help prevent deficiencies in the population. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not set a specific daily intake limit for enriched flour itself. While whole grains are often recommended for their higher fiber content, enriched flour plays a role in providing essential micronutrients.
Allergen info
Enriched flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
