Approximate kitchen reference. Not a lab label. Brands and cuts vary.
Origin
Domesticated wheat from the Fertile Crescent; milling fineness defines cake vs bread flour.
Herbal & culinary notes
Refined flour is mostly starch. Whole-wheat keeps bran. Denser coatings, nuttier flavor.
How to store
Airtight, cool, dry. Whole-wheat goes rancid faster. Fridge/freezer helps. Note insect risk in warm pantries.
Food safety
Raw flour is not a ready-to-eat food. It can carry E. coli. Bake or cook dough/batters fully; don't taste raw batter.
Food hazards
Wheat/gluten allergen. Raw cookie dough risk is flour + egg. Fine dust is combustible in industrial settings.
