Flaxseed Flour has an earthy flavour with a nutty hint and a high fibre and protein content
Flaxseed Flour is a gluten-free alternative to conventional wheat flour, which is made by grinding the seeds of brown flax. This creates a unique product with a rich nutritional profile. It boasts, for example, a high fibre content (29.1 g per 100 g) and protein (35.2 g per 100 g), which contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscles and healthy bones. In addition, it is characterised by a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (healthy fats). These can help maintain normal cholesterol levels in the blood if they substitute saturated fats in the diet. Thus, it fits perfectly into a healthy diet of every person who seeks a varied and balanced diet. Likewise, flaxseed flour also fits into a low-carb or paleo diet.
Besides its nutritional value, however, the flour will also win you over with its great taste. It is earthy and has a slight nuttiness to it, making it an ideal ingredient for sweet and savoury dishes. It can be used in dough for buns, pies and cakes as a base ingredient. Similarly, you can also use flaxseed flour in soups, cookies, pastries or pizza dough. Since it doesn't need cooking, you can also add it to smoothies or porridges. This is because it absorbs liquids, which thickens the mixture, plus enriches it with valuable nutrients. If you're looking for a versatile ingredient that will add variety to sweet and savoury dishes, then flaxseed flour is the ideal ingredient.
