All-purpose flour, also known as plain flour, originates from wheat. Wheat has been cultivated and used for thousands of years, making it one of the oldest crops in human history. The exact origin of wheat is believed to be in the Fertile Crescent, which encompasses modern-day Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel. From there, wheat cultivation spread to other parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and eventually the Americas. Today, all-purpose flour is produced by milling wheat grains and removing the bran and germ, resulting in a versatile flour that can be used for a wide range of baking and cooking purposes.
