What it is
Wheat flour is a powder made from grinding wheat grains. It is a staple ingredient in baking and cooking, providing structure and texture to a wide variety of foods. Different types of wheat flour exist, depending on the part of the wheat kernel used and the protein content.
Why it's used
Wheat flour is primarily used as a structural ingredient in baked goods like cakes, breads, and pastries. It also serves as a thickener in sauces and gravies, and as a coating for fried foods. Its gluten content allows dough to rise and gives finished products their characteristic chewiness.
Health notes
Wheat flour is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. Whole wheat flour also provides dietary fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat and its components. While not a major health concern for most, individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity must avoid wheat due to the presence of gluten.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
