This flour is a versatile staple for both sweet and savory dishes. It can be used to create tender cakes, chewy cookies, and light pastries.

Compared to unbleached flour, bleached flour has a softer texture and a whiter appearance due to the chemical treatment. This can sometimes result in a more tender baked good. Unbleached flour retains more of its natural color and may have a slightly chewier texture.
