Cereal flour is obtained from the grinding of several cereals, including:

• spelt
• kamut
• corn
• barley
• rice
• rye
• mile

The components of the various grains that make up this flour have demonstrated antioxidant activity.

Security

"Sensitisation to cereal flour allergens rather than asthma symptoms is a major determinant of elevated fractional exhaled nitric oxide among bakers. This relationship is modified by atopy and current tuxedo status" (1).
