flour production
Wheat becomes powder
Flour production is the industrial or artisanal process of milling grain—typically wheat—into flour for baking and cooking.
The process involves cleaning the grain, tempering it with moisture, then grinding and sifting it through a series of rollers to separate the starchy endosperm from the bran and germ.
Modern flour production operates on a massive scale, with large mills processing thousands of tons of grain daily.
The region's flour production increased after new mills were built along the river.
