What it is
Unbleached unbromated flour is a type of flour made from milled wheat kernels. It is called "unbleached" because it has not been treated with chemical agents to whiten it, and "unbromated" means it does not contain potassium bromate, a flour improver.
Why it's used
This flour is a primary ingredient in many baked goods, including breads, cakes, cookies, and pastries. It provides structure and texture to these foods.
Health notes
Flour itself is a food ingredient. The "unbromated" label indicates the absence of potassium bromate, an additive that FDA permits for use in flour. However, JECFA has stated that potassium bromate is not appropriate as a flour treatment agent and did not set an acceptable daily intake. California will ban potassium bromate from food products starting in 2027. The "unbleached" aspect means the flour has not been treated with chemical bleaching agents.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. This flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat.
