I don’t follow the baking subreddit, but I get recommended baking content on a regular basis. I cook often and bake sometimes, so I am familiar with flour.
This post is making me unnecessarily mad because, though I understand it’s better to be safe than sorry:
1) THERE ARE NO BUGS IN THE FLOUR
2) THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THERE ARE/WERE ANY SORT OF INSECT IN THE FLOUR
3) weevils in flour, though maybe gross, are generally harmless
4) the flour looks very normal and it is so obvious that it is the bran of the flour because of how evenly dispersed it is. OP did not note anything moving, any insect parts, any fecal matter, eggs—nothing. Just assumed it was bad because it wasn’t uniformly bleach white.
5) the mods removed a respectful comment not agreeing that the larger pieces of flour were weevils in the flour 😭… (last image)
6) all of the fear mongering comments are getting hundreds of upvotes
Oh and the “weevil” that everyone is freaking out about is in image 2, where the flour is pressed down so thin that the black background is showing through. ??? I feel like I’m going crazy.
This will prob get me banned from that subreddit but I DON’T CARE bc the majority of people are fucking retarded apparently!
