Flour

Flour is a common ingredient found in many foods and is primarily made from grinding grains like wheat, maize, or rice. It is a powdery substance used in a wide variety of dishes, from bread and cakes to pasta and pastry. Flour provides the structure and texture in baked goods and serves as a base for many recipes.

To make flour, grains are ground into a fine powder. This grinding process breaks down the grains into small particles, creating flour that is suitable for cooking and baking. The type of flour produced can vary depending on the grain used and the level of processing it undergoes, such as wholemeal flour made from whole grains or white flour that has the bran and germ removed.

You can find flour listed on food labels because it is a fundamental ingredient in many products. It plays a crucial role in giving foods their structure, thickness, and texture. For example, in bread, flour creates the soft and spongy texture, while in cakes, it helps the batter rise and hold its shape during baking. Flour can also act as a thickening agent in sauces and gravies, making them smoother and more consistent.
