Key ingredients 6

Enriched flour
Bad

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.

Malted barley flour
Neutral

Malted barley flour is used to enhance flavor and improve the texture of baked goods. It is minimally processed and retains some of the grain's natural nutrients. However, it is typically used in small amounts and does not significantly impact the nutritional profile of the product.
