What it is
Unbleached unenriched wheat flour is a powder made from grinding whole wheat kernels. "Unbleached" means it has not been treated with chemical bleaching agents to whiten it. "Unenriched" means that nutrients like B vitamins and iron, which are lost during the milling process, have not been added back.
Why it's used
This type of flour is a fundamental ingredient in many baked goods, providing structure and texture due to its gluten content. It is widely used in products like breads, cakes, pastries, and other dough-based foods.
Health notes
Wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. For most people, it is a common dietary staple and does not pose health concerns at typical intake levels. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate basic food ingredients like wheat flour as they do food additives.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It contains gluten, which can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
