Flour, wheat, brown, bread/strong

Brown strong wheat flour is milled wheat flour intended for bread making. The figures here describe the flour before it is used in a recipe, rather than baked bread. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 72g per 100g, alongside 13g of protein and 6g of fibre. It also contains 1.9g of fat per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein contributes to the growth and repair of body tissues. Fibre supports normal bowel function. Wheat flour contains gluten and is not suitable for people with coeliac disease. The salt, sugar and fat content of bread made with this flour will depend on the other ingredients added.
