A tablespoon of all-purpose flour provides about 23 calories, primarily from carbohydrates, with minimal protein and virtually no fat. This pantry staple is made from a blend of hard and soft wheat, milled to create a versatile, finely textured powder. Commonly used in baking, thickening sauces, and coating foods for frying, all-purpose flour is a key ingredient in cuisines worldwide, from Western pastries to Asian dumplings. While it offers trace amounts of nutrients like folate and selenium, its nutritional value is typically lower than whole-grain flours because the refining process removes the fiber-rich parts of the wheat. Not gluten-free, all-purpose flour may not be suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Moderation is encouraged, as it can contribute to spiking blood sugar levels when consumed in high amounts due to its lack of fiber and high glycemic index.
