What it is

Flour is a powder made from grinding grains, most commonly wheat. Unbleached flour is treated with an oxidizing agent to improve its baking qualities. Bleached flour is treated with a stronger oxidizing agent, such as chlorine gas, to make it whiter and finer.

Why it's used

Flour provides structure to baked goods. It is the main ingredient in bread, cakes, cookies, and pastries, acting as a binder and thickener. Enriched flour has added B vitamins and iron, which are lost during processing.

Health notes

In the US, enriched flour is a common ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and added nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flour and related products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of enriched flour.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Flour made from wheat contains gluten.
