Organic Cultured Unbleached Wheat Flour

This is flour made from wheat that has been grown using organic farming methods. The flour is then cultured, meaning beneficial bacteria and yeasts are added to start a fermentation process. It is unbleached, meaning no chemical agents were used to whiten it.

Cultured unbleached wheat flour is used as a base ingredient in baked goods, particularly breads and sourdough products. The culturing process can contribute to flavor development and texture, and may also aid in leavening.

Organic cultured unbleached wheat flour is a food ingredient and not subject to specific FDA health evaluations in the same way as additives. It is considered a whole food ingredient. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes flour as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for this particular processed form of flour may not be readily available.
