Unbromated Hardspring Wheat Flour

Unbromated hard spring wheat flour is a finely ground powder made from hard spring wheat kernels. Hard spring wheat is known for its high protein content, which helps create strong gluten in baked goods. 'Unbromated' means that the flour has not been treated with potassium bromate, a flour-improving agent.

Manufacturers add wheat flour to provide structure, texture, and binding properties in a wide range of food products. It is a fundamental ingredient in baked goods like croissants, muffins, crackers, and other pastries, where it forms the main bulk and framework.

Wheat flour is a staple food ingredient generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The 'unbromated' label indicates the absence of potassium bromate, an additive that FDA permits but JECFA has stated is not appropriate as a flour treatment agent. California has banned potassium bromate from 2027. For most individuals, wheat flour is a source of carbohydrates and fiber, with no specific health concerns at typical intake levels.
