Tempura flour is a specialized blend of wheat flour, starches, and sometimes leavening agents designed for creating light and crispy batter in traditional Japanese tempura dishes. Its origins trace back to Japan, where tempura is a staple in authentic cuisine, celebrated for its delicate texture and versatility in frying vegetables, seafood, and meats. This flour often contains minimal additives and is specifically formulated to ensure the batter stays airy during frying. Nutritionally, tempura flour is relatively low in fat and sugar but is high in carbohydrates, making it more calorie-dense when fried with oil. While tempura offers a satisfying crunch, it’s best enjoyed in moderation due to the frying process, which can increase saturated fat content. Pairing tempura with fresh, nutrient-rich sides like steamed rice or salad can help balance its indulgent nature within a healthy diet.
