- guynamedloren 4y agoYeah… Flour has got to be some of the lesser processed of all the possible processed foods out there.
- californiadreem 4y agoCrop dessication is the biggest issue with conventionally sourced flour--namely pesticide residues.
- abdullahkhalids 4y agoFlour is generally in the minimally-processed category [1, 2]. But grocery store flour has the problem that its too white. In principle, we should consume whole wheat flour, to ensure we obtain all micro-nutrients from it.

- barbazoo 4y agoGotcha, that makes sense. I thought the "grocery store" part was the problem. Thanks.
