What it is
Organic sprouted wheat flour is made from whole wheat berries that have been allowed to germinate (sprout) before being milled into flour. Sprouting can change the nutritional profile of the grain. It is used similarly to regular wheat flour in baking.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic sprouted wheat flour as a whole grain ingredient in baked goods. It is often found in products like breads, tortillas, and pizzas, where it contributes a slightly different flavor and texture compared to traditional flour.
Health notes
Organic sprouted wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of nutrients found in whole wheat, such as fiber and some vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat and its components, but specific evaluations for 'organic sprouted wheat flour' as a distinct ingredient are not typically highlighted. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Organic sprouted wheat flour is derived from wheat and therefore contains gluten.
