Unbleached Wheat Flower

Unbleached wheat flour is made from wheat grains that have been milled. It is not treated with bleaching agents, which are sometimes used to whiten flour and change its baking properties. Unbleached flour typically has a slightly darker color and a more robust flavor than bleached flour.

Unbleached wheat flour is a staple ingredient in baking and cooking. It provides structure and texture to a wide variety of products like breads, cakes, cookies, and pasta. It is also used as a thickener in sauces and gravies.

Unbleached wheat flour is considered a basic food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins and minerals. While whole wheat flour offers more fiber and nutrients, refined flours like unbleached wheat flour have had the bran and germ removed. JECFA has evaluated wheat flour and its components. There are no major health controversies associated with its typical consumption.
