About Wheat flour

Wheat flour, a staple ingredient in many cuisines worldwide, is made by grinding wheat kernels into a fine powder. It is a versatile base for breads, pastries, and pasta, central to diets in regions such as Europe, North America, and South Asia. There are different types, such as whole wheat flour, which retains the bran and germ, offering higher fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and refined white flour, which is lower in nutrients due to processing. Wheat flour is rich in carbohydrates, providing quick energy, and contains moderate protein content, including gluten, which aids in elasticity for baking. While whole wheat flour supports digestion and heart health, overconsumption of refined white flour, often used in processed foods, can contribute to imbalanced blood sugar levels and weight gain. Its nutritional benefits depend on type and portion size, making it important to consume as part of a balanced diet.
