What it is

Flour is a powder made by grinding grains, most commonly wheat. "Enriched" means that certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron are added back after being removed during processing. "Bleached" flour has been treated with agents to whiten it and improve its baking qualities, while "unbleached" flour has not.

Why it's used

Flour is a fundamental ingredient used to provide structure and texture in a wide variety of baked goods. It is commonly found in cakes, cookies, breads, pastries, and many other processed foods.

Health notes

Flour is a staple food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The enrichment of flour with vitamins and iron is a public health measure to prevent nutrient deficiencies. While some consumers prefer unbleached flour, the bleaching agents used are approved by the FDA.

Allergen info

This ingredient is derived from wheat, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It also contains gluten.
