If you took a look at our product line, you might think all we make are traditional flours, but as anyone who follows a gluten free diet will tell you, we have quite a few options!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Whether you follow a restricted gluten free diet for health reasons or simply want to lose a few pounds, these flours are essential for enjoying some of your favourite foods while on a gluten free diet.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown Rice Flour<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Brown rice flour<\/a> is our go-to, staple gluten free flour. It\u2019s high in protein, iron, fiber, vitamin B, and manganese! Our brown rice flour contains healthy bran and will add a darker color to your baked goods. It also imparts a richer, nuttier flavor than wheat flour. You can thicken sauces with it and use it for coating fish and other proteins, as well as produce breads, cakes and noodles.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very similar to most wheat flours and can easily be substituted in most baking recipes!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coconut Flour<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Organic coconut flour<\/a> is a delicious, healthy alternative to wheat flours. Ground from dried, defatted coconut meat, coconut flour is high in fiber and low in digestible carbohydrates. A single two tablespoon serving of coconut flour delivers five grams of fiber with only eight grams of carbs.<\/p>\n

The light coconut flavor allows coconut flour to blend seamlessly into sweet or savory baked goods. It makes a wonderful coating for chicken, fish, or other proteins in place of regular flour or cornmeal. Because of its high fiber content, baking with coconut flour is a unique experience. Coconut flour requires an equal ratio of liquid to flour for best results. Coconut flour can replace up to twenty percent of the flour in a recipe, but you will need to add an equal amount of liquid to compensate. We recommend following a recipe designed for coconut flour when getting started.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Almond Meal <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Almonds are notoriously healthy nuts, providing a good amount of manganese and vitamin E , as well as a healthy serving of monounsaturated fats in each serving! Not only do almonds have a healthy boost of protein, they are very low in carbohydrates and naturally gluten free. Replacing twenty five percent of the flour in your baking with almond meal<\/a> will add wonderful texture and flavour while reducing the carbs! Although it has a lightly sweet flavor, almond meal can also be used in savory dishes (like the one below!).<\/p>\n
