Pungent flour
I've just bought some organic flour, and I'm a bit curious about the smell.
It's a little pungent. It doesn't smell rancid, but it's got a real... farm-like smell to it? Almost grassy. It's definitely distinct to how old flour smells, and the production date is only last week.
I've had stoneground fresh flour before, but the smell hasn't ever been this strong or like this. I know it's difficult to judge by text, but is anybody familiar with what I'm describing? Does flour ever have a "non-wheat" but natural smell?
