Unbromated flour


A higher protein baking flour that does not contain potassium bromate. The higher protein allows the flour to develop more gluten which results in a more stable baked product and also is desireable for bakers in high altitudes. Potassium bromate is typically added to bread flour to help the elastisity of the baked product. The addititve is not permitted for use in the U.K. but it is used in the U.S. Many consider potassium bromate unhealthful and products that contain the additive must be labeled as such in the U.S.

You can purchase umbromated flour at King Arthur, see buy link.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?

Culinary Quote Of The Day

From James Beard...
