Flour

 Almost everyone consumes flour at some point. It is the basis for most baked goods, like bread and cookies, and it is also used as a key ingredient when you batter and fry meat, seafood or vegetables. 

There are many different types of flour that can be used for cooking or baking. One of the common types of flour is all-purpose white flour made from wheat. You'll see it in the grocery store labeled "All-Purpose, Enriched, Bleached Flour.

Health Benefits of Different Types of Flour

All purpose, enriched white flour is  is made from a combination of hard and soft wheat and is the easiest to use because it is refined to have a softer texture than whole wheat flour.

if you are a baker, you may be able to choose the type of flour you use in recipes. But if you purchase or consume packaged baked goods, you may not have a choice. While it's smart to look for ingredients like whole wheat flour, you should also make smart nutritional decisions based on other ingredients in your food.
