What it is

Unbleached wheat flour is made from wheat grain that has not been bleached with chemicals. After milling, the flour is typically aged or 'conditioned' naturally, which can slightly whiten it and improve its baking properties.

Why it's used

It is used as a primary ingredient in a wide variety of baked goods, providing structure and texture. Manufacturers use it in products like breads, pastries, noodles, and as a coating or thickener in savory dishes.

Health notes

Unbleached wheat flour is a staple food and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins. Whole wheat flour, which contains the bran and germ, is a richer source of fiber and nutrients. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for flour itself, but recommends whole grains as part of a healthy diet.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Flour made from wheat contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
