Fuqiang flour is a kind of high-gluten flour that is relatively fine, has high gluten content, few impurities, and is whiter and similar to refined flour.
Fuqiang Flour (Teyi Flour) is based on national standards and is produced in accordance with corporate internal control standards that are superior to national standards, using imported and domestic high-quality wheat as raw materials, and using advanced equipment.
Before 1949, Chinese flour was divided into No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 flours. The bulk was No. 2 flour, which was sold under various trademarks. In the early 1950s, the original brands were gradually canceled and unified into first, second, and third-grade powders, named Fuqiang, Jianshe, and Production brands respectively. The quality was equivalent to the original No. 2, 3, and 4 powders. Hence the name Fuqiang powder.
