About Flour
Flour is a finely milled food ingredient made from a grain, seed, root, or other starchy material. This broad label does not identify the source, milling grade, or whether the flour is refined or whole.
It is used in foods such as doughs, batters, and baked products. Flour is generally a dry powder, but its colour, flavour, particle size, and behaviour vary substantially with the material and processing.
