What it is

Unbleached wheat flour is made from wheat grains that have been milled into a fine powder. Unlike bleached flour, it has not undergone a chemical or artificial aging process to whiten it. The 'enriched' part means that certain vitamins and iron have been added back after processing, as they are often lost during milling.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use unbleached wheat flour as a primary ingredient in baked goods like bread, cookies, cakes, and pastries. Its gluten content provides structure and elasticity to doughs, making it essential for baking. It is also found in some pasta and other snack products.

Health notes

In the US, unbleached wheat flour is considered a basic foodstuff. The FDA recognizes enriched flour as safe. The added nutrients (iron, folic acid, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin) are intended to improve public health. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food additives, but specific evaluations for unbleached wheat flour itself are not typically highlighted in the same way as isolated additives.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Unbleached wheat flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
