“Flour power”

💡🔵🔵🔵

🔵🔵🟡🔵

Hi Strands fans. As someone without a gluten allergy and who has never considered different kinds of flour, today's puzzle was kind of tricky.

Initially, I thought "Flour power" would refer to different kinds of bread, but after failing to find any, I used a clue which revealed CORN at the the top of the board.

I thought maybe it was still about bread, until I saw RICE at the bottom and BUCKWHEAT immediately above that. This cordoned off TAPIOCA rather neatly in the bottom-right corner.

Now it was clearly about different types of flour, so I racked my brains and found CHICKPEA in the top-right corner. That cleared enough space to get the spangram of GLUTENFREE, which snaked across the board from left to right.

All that was left was to unpick the anagram of MOLNAD on the left-hand side. It was, of course, ALMOND.
