What it is
Wheat flour is a powder made by grinding wheat grains. It is a staple food ingredient, primarily composed of carbohydrates (starch) and proteins (gluten). The type of flour depends on the wheat variety and how finely it is milled.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use wheat flour as a primary ingredient in baked goods like bread, cakes, and pastries. It also serves as a thickening agent in sauces and gravies, and as a coating or 'predust' for fried foods such as chicken and appetizers, providing texture and crispiness.
Health notes
Wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption as a food ingredient. For most people, it is a common source of energy and carbohydrates. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate basic food ingredients like wheat flour as they do food additives. There are no known adverse effects at typical intake levels for the general population.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with celiac disease or a wheat allergy must avoid it.
