Excerpt
Q In my business I use large catering packs of flour, which have the word ENDOLETED on the label. I would very much like to know what it means.
You probably won't like to know; this is one of those occasions when 'ignorance is bliss'. Flour that has been endoleted has been spun in a large drum with ridges on the inside surface, in order to break up any insect eggs and prevent them from hatching out while the flour is in storage. Bon appetit!
