What is artificial flour?

There isn't a specific flour called "artificial flour". The term is a bit misleading.

It's possible you're referring to one of these things:

1. Flour substitutes: These are products made from ingredients *other* than wheat, but designed to function similarly in baking. Some common examples include:

* Gluten-free flours: Made from rice, potato, tapioca, almond, coconut, etc. These are often used by people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

* Soy flour: Made from soybeans, it's often used in protein bars and other health foods.

* Oat flour: Ground oats, can be used in baking or as a thickener.

2. "Enriched" flour: This is regular wheat flour that has added vitamins and minerals. It's not an artificial flour, but rather a way of making wheat flour more nutritious.

3. Modified flours: These are often used in processed foods. They're made from wheat flour but have been chemically treated to change their properties. Examples include:

* Pre-gelatinized flour: This cooks faster and can be used in instant foods.

* Modified starch: Used to thicken sauces, gravies, and other foods.

Can you clarify what you mean by "artificial flour"? If you give more context, I can provide a more specific answer.
