Wheat flour type 00 or 450

Description

Wheat flour type 00 or 450 is very finely milled, with a light, almost snowy color and a neutral, slightly sweet taste, which means it does not overpower other ingredients. Its delicate structure and relatively lower protein content make it ideal for baking that requires a soft, crumbly, or fluffy texture, such as cakes, cookies, sponge cakes, delicate breads, pasta, and Italian pizza type "00". Nutritionally, it is a source of carbohydrates with a small amount of protein and fat, as well as some B vitamins and minerals, but it contains little fiber and fewer trace elements than whole grain flours, so it is worth combining it with products richer in fiber. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture; for longer storage, it can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent oxidation and pest invasion.
