Flour is a staple food that we northerners often eat. Flour can be used as steamed bread, steamed flower rolls or pancakes. I wonder what food you like to make with flour? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area. Flour is actually a kind of powdered food made from wheat. According to statistics, the annual output of wheat flour in the world is about 6 million tons, and most of the wheat is eaten by us. Our family consumes four bags of flour every month, which shows that flour plays an important role in our daily life.

every time I buy flour, I go to the supermarket to buy it. There are many kinds of flour in the supermarket, and the quality is guaranteed. Every time I meet cheap and high-quality flour, I can't help hoarding two bags at home. So what is the difference between the same flour, whole wheat flour and ordinary flour? Many friends only value the price when buying flour, and often don't choose high-quality flour.

Today, I will share with you the correct way to choose flour. Friends who can't choose flour should follow me to learn. One yuan a catty of flour and four yuan a catty of flour are not only different in price, but also quite different in other aspects. All right, not much to say. Next, I will share the dry goods directly with you.

Although whole wheat flour and common flour are both made from wheat, their manufacturing processes are different. So it is naturally different in usage, taste and nutritional value. Therefore, when we choose flour, we must choose it according to our actual use. It is not the more expensive flour that suits us.

1. Different processing methods

Whole wheat flour, like its name, belongs to rough flour. That is, the flour that is ground directly after removing the shell of wheat. In this way, flour is known as "whole wheat flour"

Ordinary flour is equivalent to whole wheat flour, and its processing method is more exquisite. That is, on the basis of whole wheat flour, further processing is carried out to remove the grain embryos left in whole wheat flour. All that remains is starch.

Whole-wheat flour belongs to rough processing, which is similar to the flour that was ground in the mill when I was a child. The color is a little darker, but ordinary flour has removed bran and germ, so the color looks bright white and whitish.

Although whole wheat flour belongs to a rough processing technology, it retains all the nutrients in the whole wheat. Therefore, whole wheat flour contains a lot of water-soluble, dietary fiber and B vitamins. It can be said that it is the flour with the highest nutritional value among all-round flour.

The nutritional value of ordinary flour is not as high as that of whole wheat flour. The whole wheat bread we see in the bakery is made of whole wheat flour. So the price of whole wheat flour is two to three times higher than that of ordinary flour. Ordinary flour is not suitable for making bread.

For example, when we make steamed buns or steamed buns at home, just use ordinary flour. Well, that's the concrete sharing of flour. Do you have any other different views on this? Welcome to share it with us in the comments section. See you next time.
