FLOUR Meaning and
Definition
-
Flour is a powder obtained by grinding grains, nuts, or seeds, typically used as the main ingredient in baking or cooking. It is a staple ingredient in many culinary recipes and is widely used for making various food products such as bread, cakes, cookies, pastries, and pasta.
The most common type of flour is wheat flour, which is made from milling the grains of wheat. Wheat flour has a powdery texture and is usually white or off-white in color. It contains gluten, a protein that gives structure to baked goods and helps them rise.
In addition to wheat flour, there are other types of flour derived from different sources. For example, corn flour is made from dried corn kernels and is commonly used in making tortillas and cornbread. Rice flour is made from ground rice grains and is often used in Asian cuisine for making noodles and dumplings. Other notable types of flour include oat flour, almond flour, and coconut flour, which are commonly used as gluten-free alternatives.
Flour can also be enriched with additional nutrients such as vitamins and minerals to enhance its nutritional value. Different flours have varying protein content and gluten levels, making them suitable for different baking purposes. Overall, flour is a versatile ingredient that plays a fundamental role in the creation of a wide range of baked goods and culinary delights.
