About Flour, amaranth

Flour is the fine powder made by grinding grains, most often wheat, and it is the foundation of breads, cakes, pastries, pasta, and countless other foods. Wheat flour owes its baking magic to gluten, the protein network that traps gas and gives dough its stretch and structure. Different types suit different jobs: bread flour is high in protein for chewy loaves, cake flour is soft and low in protein for a tender crumb, and all-purpose flour sits in the middle for everyday cooking.

Whole-wheat flour keeps the bran and germ, adding fiber, B vitamins, iron, and a nuttier taste, while white flour is often enriched to restore nutrients lost in milling. A range of gluten-free flours, from almond to rice to chickpea, serve those avoiding wheat. About 100 calories fill a quarter cup. Store flour airtight in a cool, dry place, and refrigerate or freeze whole-grain flours, whose natural oils can go rancid.
