Organic Enriched Unbleached Wheat Flour

This is flour made from wheat that has been grown using organic farming methods. It is 'enriched' by adding back certain nutrients lost during processing, such as iron and B vitamins. 'Unbleached' means it has not been treated with chemicals to whiten it.

Flour is a fundamental ingredient in baking, providing structure to products like breads, cakes, and cookies. Enriched unbleached wheat flour is commonly used in a wide variety of baked goods, including breads, muffins, and pastries, serving as the primary structural component.

Wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Enrichment adds back B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron, which are beneficial for energy metabolism and oxygen transport. While whole wheat flour offers more fiber and nutrients, enriched white flour provides essential micronutrients. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various components of wheat and flour, with no specific concerns raised regarding typical consumption levels of enriched flour.
