What it is
This is a finely milled wheat flour that has undergone a bleaching process to achieve a whiter color and a softer texture. This flour is a staple in many kitchens, serving as the base for a wide variety of baked goods and other culinary creations. Its consistent quality makes it a reliable choice for everyday cooking and baking needs.
How people cook with it

All-purpose flour is the go-to choice for most baking recipes. When making cakes, cookies, or quick breads, it provides the necessary structure. It can also be used to create smooth sauces and gravies by forming a roux with butter or oil. When frying, a light coating of this flour helps create a crispy exterior on meats and vegetables. It is important to measure flour accurately by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining flour in its original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it near strong odors, as flour can absorb them. Properly stored, it will retain its quality for several months.
