Can flour blow up a whole room?

1 ⤊

I've heard if you open a bag of flour, and toss it's contents in the air and light a match, the room would detonate. Is this true??

Yes. DON'T try it!!!!!

It CAN be done with a much smaller amount, such as teaspoon full.

I don't know about flour but the dust from grains stored in silos can. Every year one of those grain silos blows up because the dust ignites.
