What it is

Wheat flour is a powder made from grinding wheat kernels. Salt is a mineral compound, sodium chloride, obtained from mines or evaporated seawater. These two ingredients are often combined in food products.

Why it's used

Wheat flour provides structure, texture, and acts as a binder or thickener in many foods. Salt is primarily used as a flavor enhancer and can also serve as a preservative. Together, they are commonly found in baked goods, snacks, and savory processed foods.

Health notes

Both wheat flour and salt are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Wheat flour is a source of carbohydrates and contains gluten, which is a major allergen for some individuals. Salt is an essential nutrient, but consuming too much sodium is linked to an increased risk of high blood pressure; the FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated salt and did not specify a numeric acceptable daily intake.
