French Flour

What is French Flour?

French Flours are categorised and classified based on the capacity of ash (or residual mineral content) in the flour per 100 grams. The number is determined by the exact weight in grams of ash.

A French law regulating the grading of flour on the basis of how much ash content is in it has been in effect since 1 October 1963.

There are numerous flours on hand within each range and each form is treated not as a solitary type of flour but as a class of flour.
