    Does… Ash mean something different here than burnt residue?

      Ash literally refers to the weight of the mineral ash residue if the flour is completely burnt. Because mineral content is found mainly in the bran and germ, it’s a good proxy measure for how white or whole the flour is.

        Thanks for the explanation. What a strange way to measure things.
