What it is
Enriched wheat flour is made from wheat that has had certain nutrients added back after processing. The milling process removes the bran and germ, which contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Enrichment adds back iron and B vitamins like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid.
Why it's used
Enriched wheat flour is a primary ingredient in many baked goods, providing structure and texture. It is commonly used in breads, pastries, cakes, cookies, and pasta. Manufacturers use it as a base ingredient due to its availability and baking properties.
Health notes
Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients can help prevent deficiencies, particularly folic acid, which is important for preventing neural tube defects. While whole grains offer more fiber and a wider range of nutrients, enriched flour contributes to overall nutrient intake in many diets.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Enriched wheat flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
