Besan is the Indian name for gram flour. Though made from dried chickpeas, it's not made from dried garbanzo beans (white chickpeas) which are a different variety of chickpeas.

How does a basic flour mill work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Old fashioned grain mills that are called hand grain mill because we have to operate them manualy and grind the flour with our hands.

How does hand grain mill work?

These are bulkier grain mills that require the grain crusher to be rotated with hands. They are usually referred to as Hand Grain Mills. Manual grinding helps in preserving the nutrient value of the grain and generally produces more of coarse flour. It might require more space to store such hand grain mills but there are many benefits of manual mills and one.

Hope this helps, let me know if you want to know something else.

WHAT TYPES of flour is healthy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All flours contain some nutrients (i.e. calories, vitamins and minerals). Wheat flour contains fewer nutrients than it used to, which is why they are added to all wheat flours now. That makes it fairly nutrient dense. Wholewheat flour contains the same nutrients as white flour, but with added fibre, which may be beneficial.

Spelt flour and buckwheat flour is used by people who are intolerant to wheat flour. It is slightly more nutritious in that it contains more protein. However standard recipes do not work when you change wheatflour to spelt or buckwheat. You need specific recipes designed for specialist flours.

Chickpea flour (gram flour) is fairly protein and fibre rich (along with the standard nutrients), but cannot be used in the same way that standard wheat flour can.

Rice flour contains no beta carotene, which is a major concern in countries where their primary foodsource is rice. This lack of beta carotene can make the citizens very ill.

No flour is amazingly nutritious.

Is there a difference between baking flour and plain flour?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Plain flour is most likely all purpose flour. It will work just fine for bread, but bread flour is specifically blended for bread making. It has more gluten which is what forms the bubbles in bread and helps it rise better. Plain flour is milled, blended and produced slightly differently than that for bread flour. Bread flour is much more of a stronger flour, whilst plain white flour is not. Both flours (whilst bread flour being the best to use for bread), need raising agents, since the flours are heavy. The most commonly used agent is yeast, in small amounts depending on size of loaf. Better results are achieved with using bread flour. So if you want to make bread then best use bread flour for better results and much tastier well balanced bread.

Is plain flour winter flour?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The variation in strengh is minimal; winter flour means that the wheat plants are planted in the winter and harvested in the summer. Whereas summer flour is planted in the summer but harvested in the winter. This means that both crops get a similar amount of time in the sun, so flour strengh is not significantly affected.

Can eating just plain flour or chalk hurt you at all?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I must say that I disagree...I have eaten flour for the past 2 1/2 years. I was diagnosed with a pica disorder and I can honestly say that eating it on a daily basis does wreak havoc on your body. It can cause extreme weight loss and weight gain. It ruins your teeth, because it sets like a paste, regardless of how well you brush your teeth. It causes frequent yeast infections and if you have diabetes, it can run your sugar so high, you can kill yourself. Ive always been anemic, but after eating the flour for so long, I became severly anemic and had to have a blood transfusion 5 months ago. I was told that I was very close to suffering a stroke or even a heart attack, at the age of 31, and prayed to stop eating flour because i felt as though i couldn't stop on my own qnd i knew that eventually i would kill myself. I stopped for about 2 or 3 months and im back at it again, its not something that i want to do because i do value my life, its just that the flour is so addictive. Doctors claim that they cant really help, or so they say they cant...im at my witts end, I NEED HELP!!! Just so you know- EATING FLOUR IS VERY HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH...

Answerif you mean flour from the store out of the package, then no, it won't do a bit of harm aside from leaving you with a dry nasty taste in your mouth.

How do you separate mixture of flour and sugar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Practicably you can't. However there is a way that will work somewhat. Using a fan with a steady air flow you can sift the mixture of sugar and flour through a wire strainer, so that it falls into the flow of air. The air will carry away most of the flour and the granules of sugar, which are heavier will fall to the floor, or tray you use to catch them. Some flour may fall with the sugar, and some sugar will get carried away, but they will be separated somewhat.

Generally the same amount. Might sift all purpose 1 0r 2 times to create more air since wheat flour is more dense. Mix all purpose flour as little as possible to avoid glutens which could toughen final product.
