Having to be gluten free today is easier then ever before, when it comes to flours. There are so many different gluten
free flours on the market, almost say too many. I could easily say I am a flour junkie. So I will go over some
flour information I have learned.
If you are just starting your gluten free lifestyle, you are lucky. The gluten free flour blends on the market
today come ready for you to use as a cup for cup substitute. In the past, you would have to mix different ones and
figure out what worked or didn't work. It is pretty awesome, you can simply just use one blend to substitute.
While there are so many options, it is still important to test various flour blends to find one you like the most. There
may be a flour that works better with cookies, and one that works better with bread. You need to test for taste, texture
and quality ingredients. Try to use a healthy flour blend, most watch for the carbs and sugar. If using for baked
goods, eat in moderation.
When you buy gluten free flour, there are a few types of ingredients. You will usually see a few types of flour
being used. Some are rice flour, quinoa, oat flour, and corn. There will also be an ingredient I talked about
before, xanthan gum, it is a binding agent that helps baked goods stick together when there is no gluten.
I believe that choosing a gluten free flour blend is in the taste of the beholder. Different flours taste different to
everyone. There are different textures too, so try different ones out there and enjoy the many to chose from.
