flour
I think what you're asking is will equal volumes of wholemeal and plain flour weigh the same?: the answer is no. Plain flour is made from wholemeal flour by sifting out all the bran and wheatgerm. It may be ground for longer too, so that it will pass through a finer-meshed sieve. This makes the flour lighter and because the particles are smaller they will pack together more densely. The result is that a cup packed with white flour may weigh more than a cup of wholemeal. You will have noticed that cake recipes often advise you to sift the flour before measuring - this is to counteract the settling effect that causes fine flour to become more compressed (and so weigh more per volume). If the recipe you are using is written using weights rather than volumes you need not concern yourself with the difference in weight and in any case the difference in weight between a cup of plain and a cup of wholemeal flour is minimal and will make no real difference to the recipe. You should note however, if you are making bread, that plain flour may well absorb more liquid than wholemeal. You may notice this effect too if you are using flour grown in your own country bur following a recipe from another nation. You can easily refine wholemeal flour by passing it through a sieve or sifter. This will separate out a good portion of the bran (which can be used in other recipes) and give a lighter and less coarse result in your baking.

well obviously yes. the flour is made up of the whole of the wheat including the part with all the fibre in it. if you take a look at wholemeal flour it has bits in it when you sieve it. that's the fibre.Yes, but wholemeal shouldn't be confused with wholewheat. Wholemeal flour contains around 85% of the grain and produces a bread that contains more fibre than white flour. Wholewheat includes all of the grain and provides more fibre than white and wholemeal. Wholewheat flour makes a denser loaf with less available gluten to aid rising of the dough, hence the more popular use of wholemeal.
Never wash a flour sieve because if you wash it and then put flour in it again, the flour will become lumpy. The sieve basically will not work properly.
Use a sifter; the flour will fall through while the rice is caught by the screen.
Pour into a sieve or colander, the sand will pass through the open mesh, leaving the larger marbles trapped inside the sieve.
You can sift flour using a sieve.
the reason for this is because whenever we sieve flour it loses its roughage which is useful for us.
'''You sieve flour to get more air into it so it makes your final product more fluffy'''
In a sieve.
To separate flour and marbles, you can use a sieve or a mesh strainer. Pour the mixture into the sieve, allowing the flour to fall through while the larger marbles remain on top. Alternatively, you could use a magnet if the marbles are metallic, or simply pick them out by hand if the quantities are small.
