Let’s wrap this up warmly. Flour has carbs—lots of them. But carbs are not the enemy. They’re the reason you have energy to laugh, cook, and eat with people you love. What matters is how you use them.
Next time you knead dough or dust your counter with flour, smile. You’re holding a pantry staple that’s been feeding humans for thousands of years. Just don’t eat the whole bag in one sitting. Unless it’s a really, really good day.
And if someone asks you, “Does flour have carbs?” you can now answer with confidence. “Yes,” you’ll say, “and that’s exactly why I’m going to enjoy it—one slice at a time.” Now go make something delicious.
