What it is
Wheat flour is a powder made from wheat grains. It is created by grinding wheat into a fine meal. Unbleached flour has not been treated with chemicals to whiten it after milling.
Why it's used
Unbleached wheat flour is a primary ingredient in baking, providing structure and texture to products. It is used in a wide variety of baked goods like breads, cakes, cookies, and pastries, as well as in batters and doughs.
Health notes
Unbleached wheat flour is considered a staple food ingredient. The FDA recognizes wheat as one of the major food allergens. While not a major source of nutrients on its own, it is often enriched with iron and B vitamins. The WHO/IARC has not classified wheat flour.
Allergen info
Wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major food allergens. It contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
