What it is

Tempura flour is a batter mix, typically made from wheat flour, cornstarch, and leavening agents like baking powder. It's designed to create a light, crispy coating when foods are fried.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use tempura flour to provide a crunchy texture and a golden-brown color to fried foods. It is commonly found in frozen seafood, vegetables, and appetizers.

Health notes

Tempura flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of carbohydrates. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar flour-based ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Tempura flour contains wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It may also contain other allergens depending on the specific formulation. Gluten is present due to the wheat content.
