About Wheat, soft white
Wheat (Triticum aestivum), or bread wheat, is one of the world's most important cereal grains and a dietary staple for billions of people. Ground into flour, it is the foundation of bread, pasta, noodles, pastries, couscous, and countless baked goods, thanks to gluten, the protein that gives dough its stretch and structure. Whole wheat keeps the bran and germ for more fiber, B vitamins, iron, and protein, while refined white flour is milled from just the starchy center.
The grain is also eaten as berries, cracked into bulgur, and milled into semolina for pasta. Because it contains gluten, wheat is off-limits for people with celiac disease or a wheat allergy. Choose whole grain forms for more nutrition, and store flour and wheat berries in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, refrigerating whole grain flour to keep its oils fresh.
