Well you should be transferring it to a better vessel when you get home anyway. Flour really wants to be in something airtight.

I wish the shop just had each beand of flour in massive barrels and you could bring your own containers and fill them up. This would eliminate the need for packaging altogether. This should be the case for everything tbh. Soap, milk, detergents

Edit: I just realized I described eco-shops

I think he's talking about a shop like that, where you bring your own container to fill them.

In my experience flour doesn't care (as long as it is stored dry). Me neither.
