Flour is known to absorb any unwanted smells and moisture
Have you ever put flour in your refrigerator? Well, if you have it in your fridge right now, you should probably go and remove it. That’s because one of the main properties of flour is that it absorbs anything close to it. This includes smells, odors, and moisture, which probably isn’t what you want from this baking staple.
We don’t want to paint a rather disgusting picture, but keeping flour in the refrigerator will provide you with a smelly lump of wet sludge, and we’re pretty sure you don’t want to put that in your pancakes. It’s best to keep your flour in an airtight container in a dry location, such as in the cupboard.
