Coating meat in flour before searing and simmering in a slow cooker is a traditional method believed to originate from France. However, the supposed benefits of flouring the meat are questionable. While some claim it adds flavor and thickens the sauce, experts argue that flouring the meat actually impedes proper browning and searing, resulting in a less flavorful dish. Additionally, using flour to thicken the sauce is imprecise and may require additional flour later on.

A Polish-Armenian team of archaeologists discovered piles of a mysterious white, powdery substance inside the ruins of a 3,000-year-old building in Metsamor, western Armenia, last fall. After conducting a chemical analysis, the team determined that the substance was wheat flour used to bake bread. They estimated that, at one time, approximately 3.5 tons of flour would have been stored inside the 82-by-82-foot building, which contained two rows of 18 wood columns supporting a reed roof with wood beams.
