White flour, made by milling wheat and removing its bran and germ, is a key ingredient in many cuisines worldwide. Commonly used in baking breads, pastries, and pastas, its refined texture makes it versatile but also less nutrient-dense compared to whole wheat flour. The refining process strips away fiber, vitamins, and minerals, leaving primarily starch. White flour is often enriched with nutrients like iron and B-vitamins to compensate for the loss during processing, but it remains low in fiber. While it provides quick energy due to its high carbohydrate content, its lack of fiber can lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, which may be a concern for individuals managing diabetes or seeking sustained energy. While convenient and essential for many recipes, moderation is key for those aiming for a balanced diet.
