How plansifters separate flour fractions, and how ash content, granularity, and protein define flour type designations from Type 450 to Type 2000.
Read article →Poland is one of the largest wheat and rye producers in the EU. These figures reflect the scale of the country's milling sector and the key quality thresholds in standard use.
