So, what is chino?
Chino is a type of flour that originates from China and is made from finely ground wheat. It has a distinctive texture and is commonly used in Chinese cuisine, especially for making noodles and dumplings. Chino flour has a high gluten content which makes it perfect for creating elastic doughs that can be stretched thinly without breaking. Its pale yellow color and delicate flavor make it an ideal ingredient for steamed buns and other baked goods. Known for its versatility and unique properties, chino flour is a staple in many Asian kitchens and is becoming increasingly popular in western cooking as well.
