Wheat flour (for crumble)

Description

Wheat flour for crumble has a creamy, slightly golden color and a grainy, medium-coarse texture, which gives baked goods a characteristic crumbly texture. Its flavor is mild, with a slightly nutty note, which pairs well with butter and sugar, bringing out a pleasant, crunchy layer in desserts. Nutritionally, this flour mainly provides carbohydrates, a moderate amount of protein, and little fat; it also contains B vitamins and minerals such as iron and magnesium. Compared to very finely ground white flour, it has a slightly higher fiber content. It is typically used for crumble, cookies, shortcrust bases, biscuits, and breading, where a loose, crumbly structure is desired. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture; for longer storage, it is advisable to keep it in the refrigerator or freezer.
