What it is

Organic sifted wheat flour is made from wheat grains that have been grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. After harvesting, the wheat is milled, and the resulting flour is sifted to remove larger pieces of bran and germ, resulting in a finer texture.

Why it's used

Flour is a fundamental ingredient in baking and cooking, providing structure to products like bread, pasta, and pastries. It acts as a binder and thickener in sauces and gravies. Manufacturers use it as a base for a wide variety of foods, including noodles, baked goods, and processed meals.

Health notes

Wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins and iron, especially if enriched. The WHO/IARC has not classified wheat flour as carcinogenic. While some people have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity and must avoid wheat, for the general population, it is considered safe at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten, which can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
