What is the ash content of a flour?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To define the fineness of a flour, we usually talk about its \u2018ash content\u2019, a measurement originally developed for cylinder milling. It measures the amount of grain husk present in the flour: the higher the ash content (i.e. the more bran it contains), the richer the flour is in minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the ash content is of little relevance to Astre\u00efa mills, the use of sieves on your stone mill allows more or less bran to pass through into the flour, and therefore provides equivalents. A wider mesh allowing more bran to pass through will lead to a higher ash content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which sieve for which flour?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the type of cereal or product you want to make with your flour, here’s the sieve our Astre\u00efa teams recommend you use for optimum quality. Of course, your mill’s pre-settings are also crucial to obtaining the flour best suited to your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
