To choose quality flour, you need to pay attention to some criteria.
It turns out that the inscription “Top grade” does not always indicate high quality of the product.
But an experienced shopper knows what to look for to find flour that hasn't expired.
We suggest that we look into this issue in more detail.
How to tell if flour has gone bad
We draw attention to these criteria.
- Color. It should be white as snow or with a slight creamy tint. If the product is reddish, there is a lot of bran. Blue - a lot of weed seeds. The darker the product, the more spoiled it is.
- Consistency: Good quality flour should squeak when squeezed between your fingers.
- Taste. Good flour has a delicate and sweetish taste.
- Smell. Good flour has no smell. It is better to pour a small amount of water into the flour and smell it.
Earlier we talked about a product that is best added to water before cleaning.
