What it is

Wheat flour is the primary ingredient in most traditional noodles. It is made by grinding wheat grains into a fine powder. The type of wheat used (hard or soft) and the milling process affect the flour's protein content and texture, which in turn influences the final noodle product.

Why it's used

Wheat flour provides the structure and bulk for noodles. It is the main component in a vast array of noodle products, from dried pasta and ramen to fresh noodles used in soups and stir-fries. Its gluten content allows noodles to hold their shape during cooking.

Health notes

Wheat flour is a staple food and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins and minerals. Whole wheat flour also provides dietary fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat and its components. While generally safe, some individuals have sensitivities or allergies to wheat.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. It contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
