Definition
黑面 refers to coarse wheat flour, a type of whole-wheat flour that is less refined than white flour. It's a specific food ingredient term, not a general description of dark-colored noodles. You'll encounter it in recipes or discussions about traditional Chinese cooking, especially in northern China where wheat-based foods are common.
