What it is

Whole Khorasan wheat flour is made by grinding the entire kernel of Khorasan wheat, an ancient grain related to durum wheat. This milling process includes the bran, germ, and endosperm, retaining all parts of the grain. Khorasan wheat is known for its large size and distinct, slightly nutty flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use whole Khorasan wheat flour in baked goods to provide a rich flavor and dense texture. It is a key ingredient in various breads, pasta, and other whole grain products. Its inclusion contributes to the nutritional profile of foods.

Health notes

Whole Khorasan wheat flour is considered a food ingredient, not a food additive, and therefore does not have a specific FDA approval status. As a whole grain, it is a source of dietary fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend consuming whole grains as part of a healthy diet. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives and have not specifically evaluated whole Khorasan wheat flour.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Whole Khorasan wheat flour contains gluten.
