What it is
This is a mix of flours made from grains like rice, sorghum, or millet, processed to remove gluten. It is designed as a substitute for wheat flour in baking and cooking, especially for those avoiding gluten.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use this blend to create gluten-free versions of baked goods such as cookies, cakes, and muffins. It provides structure and texture similar to traditional flour, allowing for a wide range of baked product applications.
Health notes
Organic Gluten Free Flour Blend is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of carbohydrates and can provide some fiber and nutrients depending on the specific grains used. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various individual flour ingredients, but specific blends are not typically evaluated as a single entity. For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, avoiding gluten is medically necessary, and gluten-free flour blends are essential.
Allergen info
This blend is specifically formulated to be gluten-free, meaning it does not contain wheat, barley, or rye. It is not derived from any of the other 8 FDA major allergens unless specifically stated by the manufacturer (e.g., if made in a facility that also processes allergens).
