Enriched Flour

Neutral in 1 Flagged in 8

Scout's take

Enriched flour is a refined grain product that has been stripped of its natural nutrients and fiber. It is often fortified with synthetic vitamins and minerals to replace some of the lost nutrients. The refining process can lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.

More from Scout's analyses

Refined wheat flour stripped of bran and germ, then enriched with synthetic niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, and folic acid. The 'wheat' in the product name is misleading — this is not whole wheat.

from the analysis of Sara Lee Honey Wheat Bread

Enriched flour is wheat flour with added nutrients like niacin, iron, and folic acid. The enrichment process aims to replace nutrients lost during refining. It lacks the fiber and some nutrients found in whole grains.
