What it is

Wheat and malted barley flour are milled grains used in baking and cooking. Wheat flour is made from the endosperm of wheat kernels, while malted barley flour is made from barley that has been germinated (malted) and then dried and ground.

Why it's used

These flours provide structure, texture, and flavor to baked goods. They are common ingredients in bread, cakes, cookies, pasta, and cereals. Malted barley flour, in particular, can add a slightly sweet, malty flavor and aids in browning.

Health notes

Wheat and barley flours are staple carbohydrates in many diets. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Whole grain versions are a source of fiber and nutrients. Some individuals have sensitivities or allergies to wheat or gluten, a protein found in wheat and barley.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Barley contains gluten, which is a concern for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
