What it is

Wheat flour is the fine powder made from grinding wheat grains. It is a staple ingredient in baking and cooking, forming the base for many popular foods. The type of wheat and the milling process determine the flour's characteristics.

Why it's used

Wheat flour is primarily used as a structural ingredient in baked goods like bread, cakes, and cookies, providing the framework for these products. It also acts as a thickener in sauces, gravies, and soups, and can be used as a coating for fried foods.

Health notes

Wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins and iron, especially when enriched. While a common food, it is a major allergen for individuals with wheat allergy or celiac disease, who must avoid gluten.

Allergen info

Wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten, a protein that triggers adverse reactions in people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
