Is flour considered food at all? It sounds more like an ingredient than a food.

Nova doesn’t distinguish between ingredients and food [1]. (It needs to be able to do this. UPFs are defined, in part, by almost lacking low-Nova inputs.)

Cooking it first is a big improvement, but the same is true of carrots, IMO.
