What is the difference between high-gluten snow powder and high-gluten Fuqiang powder?

The former refers to ordinary flour with high protein content, and the latter refers to the best flour with high protein content.

1. High-gluten snowflake flour and high-gluten rich-strength flour are two names for different types of flour. By explaining the nouns one by one, the concepts of these two flours will be clearer. In fact, the names of these two flours are not very standardized.

First of all, what is high-gluten flour? Flour is divided into high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour and low-gluten flour according to the protein content.

A: High-gluten flour, also known as strong gluten flour, has the highest protein and gluten content, with a protein content of 12%-15% and a wet gluten value of more than 35%. The best high-gluten flour is spring wheat flour produced in Canada. High-gluten flour is suitable for making bread, puff pastries, puff pastries, etc.

B: All-purpose flour is a type of flour between high-gluten flour and low-gluten flour. The protein content is 9%-11% and the wet gluten value is 25%-35%. Common flours such as winter wheat flour produced in the United States and Australia and standard flour in my country belong to this type of flour. All-purpose flour is used to make heavy fruit cakes, meat pies, etc.

C: Low-gluten flour, also known as weak-gluten flour, has low protein and gluten content. The protein content is 7%-9%, and the wet gluten value is below 25%. British, French and German weak flours all fall into this category. Low-gluten flour is suitable for making cakes, pastries, biscuits, etc.

2. Snow powder generally refers to two things. One is a food raw material obtained after potato processing, called snow powder; it is mainly used in quick-frozen food, puffed food, bread, fish bait, Fast food, baby food, etc.
