What it is
Unbleached enriched white flour is made from wheat that has not been bleached with chemicals. It is milled from the endosperm of the wheat kernel, which is then enriched with added vitamins and iron. This process results in a fine, white flour.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use unbleached enriched white flour as a primary ingredient in baked goods due to its gluten content, which provides structure and elasticity. It is commonly found in breads, cakes, cookies, and pastries, where it contributes to texture and volume.
Health notes
Unbleached enriched white flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Enrichment adds back nutrients lost during milling, such as iron and B vitamins like folic acid, niacin, and thiamin. While it provides some nutritional value, it is a refined grain and lower in fiber compared to whole wheat flour. JECFA has evaluated flour and its enrichment, and EFSA has also assessed related nutrients.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Flour made from wheat contains gluten, which can be a concern for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
