Raw meal is not flour. The composition of raw meal is mainly starch, the composition of flour in addition to starch and gluten, if the gluten in the flour is extracted, what remains is starch, or wheat starch. Almost all of the raw flour is the product of processing in the water precipitation, drying, crushing. This is precisely why the scientific name for raw flour is starch. There is no water involved in the whole process of flour, only the process of grinding and sifting. Flour is mainly used to make steamed buns and deep-fried, raw flour is generally used to make soup, the soup made of starch, such as seaweed and egg soup, clear and sticky smooth, taste and vision are very good.
