What it is

High gluten wheat flour is made from wheat, a grain. It is produced by milling wheat kernels into a fine powder. The 'high gluten' refers to its higher protein content, specifically gluten, compared to all-purpose flour.

Why it's used

The high gluten content makes this flour ideal for products that require elasticity and structure, such as bread and pasta. It helps dough rise and maintain its shape. It is commonly found in baked goods, tortillas, and noodles.

Health notes

High gluten wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and protein. For individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, gluten in wheat flour can cause adverse health effects. JECFA has evaluated wheat gluten and established specifications for its use. Evidence does not link typical consumption of wheat flour to adverse health effects in the general population.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Gluten is the protein found in wheat, and it is the component that triggers reactions in individuals with gluten sensitivities.
