What is Enriched Flour?
During the production of breads and other baked goods, certain minerals and natural vitamins are stripped away to improve texture or enhance the shelf life. For example, the bran and the germ are extracted from the wheat.
In an effort to improve the nutritional value, food producers add back vitamins and minerals. Accordingly, Enriched Flour often contains Thiamine Mononitrate (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), and Folic Acid (B9).
Foods that typically contain Enriched Flour include bread, brownies, cake, cookies, crackers, donuts, pasta, and pizza.
Allergens
The Double Chocolate Nantucket cookies are made with ingredients that contain egg, milk, soy, and wheat.
