With the advent of summer, the hot weather can easily lead to loss of appetite, and the production of simple flour products is becoming more and more popular among consumers. In order to help consumers understand what issues should be paid attention to when making and buying flour products at home and in the market, the following consumption tips are made.

1. Placement of flour
In summer, the weather is humid, and the flour is easy to mold and deteriorate, so the flour should be kept in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight.
After taking out the flour needed to make steamed buns, noodles and other pasta, tie the flour bag tightly and seal it tightly to prevent moisture.
2. Flour quality observation
Before making pasta, you should pay attention to the condition of the flour, and the normal flour should be free of lumps and eggs. When there are flour lumps and filaments, it is best not to eat them.

3. Preparation of pasta
The main nutrient component of flour is starch, and the content of dietary fiber, protein, and vitamin B group is relatively low. In summer, poor appetite and sweating can easily lead to the loss of nutrients in the body, so it is recommended to add an appropriate amount of eggs, milk and a small amount of salt to the flour when making noodles, steamed buns, cakes, etc., which can not only improve the nutrition of pasta, but also make noodles with gluten and soft buns.
