What it is
This is a flour made from wheat and malted barley that has been enriched with added nutrients. Enrichment typically includes iron, thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), and folic acid (vitamin B9). The barley is malted, a process that involves soaking, germinating, and drying the grain to develop enzymes and flavor.
Why it's used
Enriched flour is a staple in baked goods, providing structure and texture. It is commonly used in breads, pastas, cereals, crackers, and pastries. Manufacturers use it as a primary ingredient because it is readily available and contributes to the desired consistency and crumb of finished products.
