What it is

Whole wheat pastry flour is a type of flour made from the entire whole wheat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. It is milled from soft wheat varieties, which have a lower protein content than hard wheat. This results in a finer, softer flour that is ideal for delicate baked goods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use whole wheat pastry flour to add a whole grain component to baked goods, providing fiber and nutrients. Its tender texture makes it suitable for cakes, cookies, muffins, and pancakes, offering a slightly nutty flavor and a denser crumb compared to all-purpose flour.

Health notes

Whole wheat pastry flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of dietary fiber and various nutrients found in whole grains. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated whole grains, and their components are part of broader dietary recommendations for health. Evidence generally supports whole grains as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Whole wheat pastry flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten.
