Question

Hello Rabbi, Is it permissible to initially sell white flour to a non-Jew for Passover, or does the wheat and flour become chametz when moistened?

Answer

Hello,
The flour is moistened before grinding, and there is a concern of chametz. However, it is permissible to sell it to a non-Jew.
Since the custom of being stringent not to sell visible chametz applies only to complete chametz. But anything that is not actual chametz does not have this custom.
