How to buy flour?
When buying flour, ensure that it is fresh and lump-free. Watch out for any stale smell or moisture on the bag. With regular use, you will develop a sense for texture of the flour. It should be smooth and soft. Whether white or whole wheat flour, very free-flowing flour is coarse and does not give best baking results. Store the Flour in a dry, airtight container at a cool temperature for no more than six-months.
