[Sca-cooks] OOP: Mystery flour-like substance in my cabinet

[Micheal]

 I will elaborate some.
 I take it you have worked with flour , rice flower , and cornstarch. So it 
would follow that you should know how each reacts with water. Tasting could 
be unsafe as your unsure what you have. There are other methods but drops of 
water ranks right up there.
