Which flours are gluten-free?

Ekogram offers many types of gluten-free flours, each of which has a slightly different taste, texture and nutritional composition.

• BIO almond flour is made from blanched, ground almonds. It is characterized by a nutty taste and aroma. It can be used as an excellent grain-free alternative to breadcrumbs in homemade coatings. In combination with yeast flakes, it will be perfect as a vegan pasta parmesan. You can replace wheat flour in baking with it, but only if you add an egg. Almond flour is best stored in the refrigerator.
• BIO Buckwheat flour is characterized by a rich, earthy taste and works best in baking bread. Buckwheat dough tends to crumble, so it should be combined with other gluten-free flours, such as rice flour.
• BIO Teff Flour is produced from the smallest grain in the world, i.e. the plant of Abyssinian grass growing in north-eastern Africa. It is perfect for baking traditional sourdough bread, pancakes, omelettes, pancakes and for thickening sauces or soups. In your recipes, you can replace 25-50% of wheat flour with it.
• BIO Arrowroot is made from a starchy substance extracted from a tropical plant known as Maranta arundinacea. It is a versatile flour that you can use as a thickener in soups or sauces, and mix with almond, coconut or cassava flour in bread and dessert recipes.
• BIO Rice Flour is simply finely ground brown rice. It is a type of whole wheat flour containing bran, germ and endosperm. It can be used to thicken sauces or prepare breaded dishes, e.g. cutlets or fish fillets. From rice flour, you can also prepare Asian noodles or bake delicious breads, cakes and cookies.
• BIO Oatmeal is made by grinding whole-grain oats. Gives baked goods a better flavor than all-purpose flour and provides a more chewy, moist and crumbly texture.
• BIO corn flour is a very finely ground version of corn flour. It is made from the whole grain, including the bran, germ and endosperm. It works best when used as a thickener for sauces and soups, as well as a base for tortillas and bread.
• BIO chickpea flour is produced by grinding dry chickpea grains. It has a slightly nutty flavor and a grainy texture. It is popular in Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine. Chickpea flour is used to make falafel, hummus and flatbreads, but it is also perfect as an egg substitute in vegan dishes, coating for chops or a binder for vegetarian burgers.
• BIO Coconut flour is obtained from dried coconut flesh. It has a mild, sweet, coconut flavor. Its light texture gives similar baking results to wheat flour, so it works well in bread, cake, pancake and omelet recipes. However, keep in mind that coconut flour absorbs much more liquid than wheat flour and tends to dry out baked goods. The addition of an egg helps to give them the right structure.
• BIO millet flour is simply ground millet groats. It is perfect for recipes for pancakes, omelettes, pancakes, sweet pastries. It can also thicken soups and stews. To obtain a successful baking, it is best to mix millet flour with another type of gluten-free flour.

• BIO Chestnut flour is made by grinding dried chestnuts. It has a delicate, nutty and sweet taste and a light brown color, which is why it works great in recipes for cakes, pancakes, pancakes, muffins or waffles. However, it is worth mixing it with other flours. The content of chestnut flour can be about 30-50% of the whole mixture.
