Flour is a finely ground powder made by milling grains, nuts, seeds, or legumes, with wheat flour being the most common variety used worldwide. Its origins trace back thousands of years to ancient civilizations that relied on it as a dietary staple. Rich in carbohydrates, flour serves as an essential energy source, while whole-grain versions retain fiber, vitamins, and minerals like B vitamins, magnesium, and iron. Used in baking, cooking, and thickening sauces, flour is a cornerstone of many cuisines, from Italian pasta and French baguettes to Indian chapati. While refined white flour has a longer shelf life, it lacks much of the nutrients found in less processed options. Excessive consumption can contribute to blood sugar spikes and weight gain if not balanced with other nutrients. Opting for whole-grain or alternative flours, like almond or oat, can provide healthier choices for maintaining a nutrient-rich diet.
