Looking for an alternative to wheat flour? Opt for oat flour
The top of the ranking of the most popular flours in Poland is opened by wheat flour. It is everywhere - in most breads available in supermarkets (even if their name starts with "rye"), cakes, cookies, etc. However, for health reasons, more and more people are looking for substitutes for the popular wheat flour. Do you also belong to this group? Then choose oat flour! We will explain why...
First of all, oat flour is quite “easy to use”. It has similar properties to wheat flour, so you can use it in the same proportions. This makes things much easier when you start your culinary adventure with flours other than wheat. Oat flour will be great for beginners (and not only), because it does not require fiddling with more or less amounts of liquids, eggs, etc. in recipes.
Secondly, oat flour is a source of valuable health ingredients. It provides dietary fiber, which supports intestinal function and maintaining a healthy body weight, as well as vitamins and minerals (including magnesium, zinc, potassium). It is also worth mentioning that it contains protein of high biological value, which makes it a good fit for athletes, among others.
Thirdly, but no less important - oat flour is a combination of versatility and originality. It sounds paradoxical, so let's explain - the point is that oat flour has universal culinary applications, and at the same time is distinguished by an original, slightly nutty flavor.
