Compost flour?

I have a decent amount of a few kinds of flour. Between loosing my sourdough starter, and a very long miserably hot summer when I don't turn the oven unless I have to.  All the flour is full of bugs.  I'm so bummed.  I will buy new flour, but what do I do with the buggy stuff.  Can I compost it?  I don't know why, but I just keep thinking I shouldn't compost it.  Is it ok to compost about about 15 pounds of flour? Thanks

I would put that flour in the freezer temporarily to kill the bug so you don't get a kitchen infestation.

Then I would slowly shift it into the compost pile evenly.

I feel if all of that went into the compost pile there would be problems.

Do you have some unused corners of your property that you can do trench composting?

I am looking forward to what other suggestions that you will get.

Jen, do you still have chickens?
If so, I would give it to them, they don't mind bugs.
You could even bake it into some kind of bread, if you want.
At my , house, the chicken yard is the compost pile, so there is no difference.
If I put it on a regular pile, I would worry about it forming a gummy layer, but chooks wont let that happen.

It doesn't take a lot of flour to make a pile heating up because it's nutritious and the particles are so fine. 16 pounds will last you a long time.
Or you can use them as chicken feed. Wet some down and form a clump and the chickens will tear off the pieces although they have to keep wiping their beaks after a few bites.

I throw it in the compost. Make sure to wet it down.
I've also thrown it directly on a fallow bed, figuring at least it would attract birds which would poop and maybe eat some snails. It did.
I think your chickens would be thrilled to get a buggy-flour-mash!

i’d vote for getting it to the chickens, either in wetted, clumpy form or cooked into something bread like.

I wouldn't be afraid of dumping the whole thing on top of my compost in a pile, or feeding it to the birds (as-is, wetted, baked, whatever), or dusting my beds with it. I think no matter what, the nutrients are going to get where they're going.

Thank you all. I hadn't thought about giving it to the chickens.  
I stopped putting my compost in the chicken yard because I never got any compost that way. But maybe I will give it another try sprinkle flour around so they can eat the bugs. I need to pull a bunch of tomatoes, and other veggies out of my garden, I can mix the flour and some shredded cardboard. The chickens should enjoy digging around in that.
Thanks again I appreciate all of your helpful comments.
