What it is

Wheat flour is the fine powder made from grinding wheat grains. It is a staple food ingredient used worldwide, forming the base for many baked goods and other food products. The type of wheat and the milling process determine the flour's properties.

Why it's used

Wheat flour is primarily used as a structural ingredient in baking, providing the framework for bread, cakes, cookies, and pastries. It also acts as a thickener in sauces and gravies. It is found in a wide variety of processed foods, including frozen appetizers, deli items, and prepared meals.

Health notes

Wheat flour is a common source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins and iron, especially when enriched. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists wheat flour as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated wheat flour. While whole wheat flour is associated with higher fiber intake, refined wheat flour is lower in fiber and nutrients unless enriched.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major food allergens recognized by the FDA. Wheat flour contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
