Yes powdered flower is very explosive in fact. NEVER try to use it to put out a fire. I was given a demonstration of the effect in firefighter training.

There are two types of flour bomb: 1) The relatively innocuous use of flour in a fragile container, thrown at a person or object to produce an inconvenient stain. 2) The dangerous explosion that can occur when an air suspension of the fine organic, often starchy, substance is ignited.

Yes, flour is considered a combustable dust. All comercial bakeries are defined as Class II Division 12 locations by the national electrical code.

when the powder from flour is floating in the air it can combust. just setting a match to a pile of flour will not catch it on fire.

No; that's why it's recommended to put out grease fires in the kitchen. It will turn brown or black but not burst into flame.
