Organic Enriched Wheat Flour

Organic enriched wheat flour is made from wheat grains that have had certain nutrients added back after processing. The 'organic' label means the wheat was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is a common ingredient in baked goods and other processed foods.

Manufacturers use enriched wheat flour as a primary ingredient for its structure and texture in baked goods. It acts as a base for products like bread, pasta, cookies, and cakes, providing the bulk and framework for these foods.

Wheat flour is a staple carbohydrate source. The enrichment process adds back B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron, which are often lost during milling. The FDA considers enriched wheat flour safe for consumption. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat flour and its components. While not a major allergen, wheat is a common source of food sensitivities for some individuals.
