May Be Topped With Flour

Flour is a powder made by grinding raw grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, or roots. For most baked goods, wheat flour is used. It is a staple food in many cultures, used to make bread, pasta, cakes, and cookies.

Flour is a primary ingredient in baked goods, providing structure and texture. It is also used as a thickener for sauces and gravies, and as a coating for fried foods. It is commonly found in breads, pastries, pasta, and cereals.

Flour, particularly refined white flour, is a source of carbohydrates and can be a part of a balanced diet. Whole wheat flour provides more fiber and nutrients. The FDA considers wheat flour to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated flour and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of flour as part of a varied diet.
