Wheat Flour Blend

Wheat flour is a powder made from the milling of wheat grain. It is a staple food ingredient used worldwide, forming the base for many baked goods and other food products. The type of wheat and the milling process determine the flour's characteristics, such as its protein content and colour.

Wheat flour is primarily used as a structural ingredient in baked goods, providing the bulk and texture for bread, cakes, biscuits, and pastries. It acts as a binder in processed meats and can be used as a thickener in sauces and gravies. Its versatility makes it a fundamental component in a vast array of food products.

Wheat flour is a source of carbohydrates and some fibre, B vitamins, and minerals. Wholemeal flour contains more fibre and nutrients than white flour. The UK government's Eatwell Guide recommends that starchy carbohydrates like bread, chapattis, couscous, barley, oats, potatoes and other tubers should make up just over a third of the food we eat. Whole grain versions of these foods are preferable. Wheat flour itself is not considered a food additive in the UK; it is a basic foodstuff.
