− | '''Flour''' is an ingredient in | + | '''Flour''' is an ingredient in {{L|cooking}}, made by {{L|milling}} one of the three available {{L|Plant|grains}} ({{L|cave wheat}}, {{L|longland grass}} and {{L|whip vine}}) at a {{L|millstone}} or {{L|quern}}. Milling involves grinding the grains beneath the wheel, rendering it from an inedible plant to an edible {{L|powder}} suitable for cooking. Milling plants needs one {{L|bag}} for every job, and one plant will be processed to make one bag of flour. Flour in {{L|bag}}s or {{L|barrel|mill barrels}} do not {{L|Wear|wither}} like crops, and possess an indefinite shelf life if kept free of {{L|vermin}}. It is also a very efficient use of space, since a single barrel can store up to ten bags of flour. Given these attributes, flour serves as an excellent foodstuff. A relatively small {{L|stockpile}} can sustain a number of dwarves during a {{L|siege}} or the first few months of a new outpost. |

Flour is more valuable than the raw {{L|crop}}, (20☼ per unit for cave wheat flour and longland flour, 25☼ per unit for whip vine flour), and prepared meals made with flour have a higher value. Bags and barrels of flour are often quite {{L|Item value|valuable}} and suitable for export or import with {{L|caravan}}s; a single barrel of flour can easily be worth more than 200☼. |

Dwarven histories give many examples of new and innovative {{L|Artifact|quern and millstone designs}}, few of which are reproducible on an industrial scale, as well as {{L|Stupid dwarf trick|elaborate mechanical schemes}}. Research dwarves continue to predict that the next major advance in flour technology will be a new, advanced foodstuff known as "bread" - some sort of solid beer - but they have been promising to produce this miracle substance for years and have not yet shown any progress. |
