All-Purpose Flour

Versatile, fine-textured, and essential for Mediterranean baking and cooking, all-purpose flour serves as the foundation for breads, flatbreads, pastries, and thickening sauces and stews. In Mediterranean cuisine, flour is used to dredge proteins before pan-searing, thicken braised dishes, and create the tender doughs behind pita, focaccia, and spanakopita. Its neutral flavor makes it an ideal backdrop for bold Mediterranean spices, herbs, and olive oil. Rich in complex carbohydrates and B vitamins including thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, all-purpose flour provides sustained energy. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.
