What it is
Unbleached wheat flour is made from wheat grains that have not been treated with bleaching agents. After milling, the flour is aged naturally, which can take several weeks. This process allows the flour to develop better flavor and baking qualities compared to bleached flour.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use unbleached wheat flour as a primary ingredient in a wide variety of baked goods and other foods. It provides structure and texture in products like bread, cakes, cookies, and pasta. It is also used as a thickener in sauces and gravies.
Health notes
Unbleached wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins and minerals. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other international bodies have evaluated flour and its components, but specific health effects are typically related to overall dietary patterns rather than individual ingredients like unbleached flour.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Unbleached wheat flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
