Cooking? Do not lick the content of the bowl!

that will kill the nutrients of the flour.

I freeze my flour for a month in air-tight/vaccum sealed bags. That kills all the interesting stuff on flour, and will keep the flour in a usable, tasty state.

I move the flour from the freezer to the counter to let it warm up, wiping the bag (which will have water condense on because of the cold) then move it to a tight-lidded popcorn can.

the real threat of doughs and other mixes is that you add eggs.

here in Murika they wash the eggs, refridgerate and put in a refridgerator. This opens the egg up to colonies of bacteria. In other countries they dry wipe eggs, carton them and store in a cool dark place.

That coating on the outside of eggs prevents bacteria from colonizing the eggs, thus the chance of getting interesting cultures is greater in the USA (which is stupid in a lot of areas) than so called third world countries that don't wash eggs until its time to use them.

I'm not sure I eat cookie dough for the nutritional content, BUT, you make an excellent point. And I like your work around too. Thanks for sharing it, man.
