Luxury wheat flour type 500
Description
Luxury wheat flour type 500 is a finely milled, light, cream-white powder with a delicate, neutral taste and a subtle aroma of fresh grain. The low ash content (type 500) indicates careful cleaning and a white, silky texture, making it suitable for thin and fluffy baked goods. Nutritionally, it is a source of quickly digestible carbohydrates and gluten protein, contains small amounts of fat, and trace amounts of minerals and B vitamins; it provides energy but has a lower fiber content than whole grain flours, so it is worth combining it with other sources of fiber in the diet. It works excellently in yeast pastries, cakes, cookies, pancakes, and delicate sponge cakes, as well as for thickening sauces. Store in an airtight container in a dry, cool, and shaded place, free from odors and moisture; for longer storage, it can be frozen.
