This natural state allows the flour to retain more of its original wheat flavor and characteristics. It is a versatile staple in many kitchens, suitable for a wide range of baking and cooking applications.

In savory cooking, it can be used to create roux for gravies and sauces, or as a coating for meats and vegetables before frying to achieve a crispy exterior. Its neutral flavor profile makes it adaptable to sweet and savory recipes alike.
