Wheat Tortilla Additive

Wheat flour is milled from the wheat plant's kernel. It is a staple grain used worldwide for baking and cooking. The milling process separates the bran and germ from the endosperm, which is then ground into flour.

Wheat flour provides structure and texture to baked goods. It is the primary ingredient in bread, cakes, cookies, and pasta. In tortillas, it helps bind ingredients together and creates a pliable dough.

Wheat flour is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins and minerals. The FDA considers wheat flour a common food ingredient. While some individuals have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, the majority of the population can consume wheat flour without issue. The WHO/IARC has classified processed meat as carcinogenic to humans, but has not classified wheat flour.
