Question

According to what is written in Azmera LeShimcha, that flour is considered a concern of chametz, does someone who prefers not to sell actual chametz in his home have to burn it, or is this different? Thank you.

Answer

Shalom u’vracha. 

This is only a concern of chametz and not full-fledged chametz, and there is no custom not to sell it. 

In any case, even with actual chametz, not all of it must be burned: most of the chametz we finish or throw away. We fulfill the custom of burning only with part of the chametz, in accordance with the view of Rabbi Yehuda.
