    You can use pretty much any flour but some are better than others . If you have to much starter you can just freeze it or use it for pancakes or even for coatings of chicken etc .
    The fermentation removes / converts the Gluten so it is able to be used by the Celiacs / gluten intolerant lucky people .

    I have dried my sour dough starter as I was starting to eat too much bread.
    Once every so often is enough for me, but I’m looking forward to pictures of progress.
    Good on you @Friwi
    so just as a question , Just how did you dry out the Starter , dehydrator ? , oven ? .
    The reason is I had not thought of using the starter as normal flour .

    No sultanas, raisins or oranges, but chopped up and soaked some dates.

    Yes you can use wholemeal flour if you want.
    Good idea to use dates. That should work fine.

    I spread some of it out on some plastic film and left it on the bench over night. It takes as long to revive as stating a new one so I would only recommend it if you’ve had your stater for a long time and it’s become special.
    @gadgetman yes whole meal is what I use, I’d follow @Friwi advice though.

    You can use honey as well in your starter and it is full of natural yeasts. That's how traditional mead starts if fermentation.

    Good to see the interest in this topic. But be Warned it's as addictive as the black art of reloading.
    Here are some links I've found useful.

    Don’t give up, only start again if it goes furry.

    It's separated with flour at bottom and liquid on top. No signs of life at all. Looks almost as dead as a politicians cranial cavity.
