CHESTNUT FLOUR OF CORSICA.
Much Used but Produces Inferior
Kind Of Bread

Kind Of Bread.
The chestnut is the wheat of Cor.
sica, and its -four is used in the form
OF bread or polenta by the peasants
throughout the island. The chestnuts
are slowly dried over small wood
fire and stored until required for
grinding. The mills are OF the sim
plest construction, and consist Of
wooden water wheel whose axis turns
q milestone which brushes the shelled
chestnuts against a fixed stone.
The cheaper grades of -four are
Of dirty color owing to the pres
ence Of particles OF the shells and
contain between IL and IL per cent OF
moisture. The composition of differ.
ent varieties OF the -four has been
determined recently by M. Comte.
who finds that chestnut -four closely
approximates wheat -four in its food
value. II contains about the same
amount OF starch, more fat and cellu.
lose, but less heterogeneous substances

per cent In wheat -FOUR. Chestnut
Hour attracts moisture very rapidly,
and therefore soon becomes mouldy
unless kept In alright vessels. II
has also the drawback OF not being
easily Influenced by the action Of
yeast, and thus produces an Inferior
kind OF bread.
