What it is

Organic white flour is made from the endosperm of wheat berries that have been grown organically, meaning without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The bran and germ are removed, leaving the starchy white interior. It is then milled into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic white flour as a primary ingredient in baked goods for its structure and texture. It provides the base for breads, cakes, cookies, pastries, and pasta, and is also used as a thickener in sauces and gravies.

Health notes

Organic white flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins, though enrichment is common in non-organic white flour. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not classified organic white flour regarding carcinogenicity. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Organic white flour is derived from wheat and contains gluten.
