All your questions about flour

We want to give you information about our different types of flour. In case you have questions about a specific product, have a look at the product page and specification. If you don't find what you are looking for, feel free to contact us by email or on social media and we will answer all your questions.

What makes our flours special?

Our different types of flour each have their individual advantages: our organic flaxseed flour contains 32 g of protein for 100 g, making it a real protein bomb. It also contain a lot of fibre (36 g/100 g) and is gluten-free. All this without losing any of the baking and coking qualities. Our organic chickpea flour is a real all-round talent: the chickpea's tasty, nutty sweetness remains in its powdered form and refines sweet as well as savoury dishes. As we said, flours make your kitchen richer — have a good look at our flour selection. You will find more tips on how to use each flour on their respective pages. Our organic flaxseed flour and organic golden flaxseed flour, for example, have a high swelling capacity, meaning you should use enough liquid when baking with them. guar gum, on the other hand, is the perfect binding agent. It thickens and binds any creations. 

Why not use conventional flour?

Wheat is not bad in itself, but there are several reasons why more and more people are turning to wheat alternatives. Wheat flour contains barely any nutrients — just plenty of carbohydrates and gluten protein. Alternative flours, made from nuts or pseudo cereals can often provide these benefits: some flours are real sources of protein, others are gluten-free and some have a high fibre content. Flavour is also a big factor: nut-based flours, like our almond flour, give you tasty nutty notes for your experiments.

What should be considered when using alternative flours?

You know us by now — we don't like to lump everyone together. As we know, everyone is unique. You can look at each individual flour's description for hints on how to use them. Chickpea flour, for example, should not be consumed raw, since the chickpeas have not been heated, meaning they are toxic to humans. But don't worry — once heated, chickpea flour is no longer toxic and tastes delicious!

Binding agent for gluten-free flours

Many of our alternatives to wheat flour do not contain gluten (gluten protein), which is usually what keeps the dough together or elastic. Therefore, if you are using a gluten-free type of flour, it is recommended that you add a binding agent to your flour mixture. We recommend a ratio of ⅔ gluten-free flour and ⅓ starch. You can also ideally replace the latter with guar gum.

Keep in mind the ratio when substituting wheat flour

If you are following a wheat flour recipe, you should keep in mind the ratio. Not all flours can replace wheat flour 1:1. Many flour have a high fibre content, meaning they can absorb more water than conventional wheat flour. 100 grams of wheat flour should be replaced by about half (50 g) the amount of almond flour. With coconut flour, you should use about ¼ or ⅓ of the wheat flour amounts. You can also replace 100 g of wheat flour with about 75 g of chickpea flour or 90 g of flaxseed flour. But instead of complicating things, simply have a look at our Food Journal, where you can find countless recipes using coconut, almond or sweet potato flours.

Which flour is healthy?

Healthy is, above all, a balanced and wholesome diet. Our flours made from nuts, seeds and pseudo cereals can be a great alternative to conventional wheat flour. They can be especially useful for those with allergies (e.g. gluten). 

Which flour has the most protein?

If you are looking for a flour that can also be your protein bomb, here's a list of the flours with the highest protein contents:

Are all the flour types vegan?

Of course! All of our flours are made from a single ingredients. No additives, no animal ingredients — 100 % plant-based.

Can I also make a roux with the flour alternatives to white flour?

Of course, providing you use one of the other flours that contain starch. If you use gluten-free flours, like our organic coconut flour , you should add a binding agent, such as guar gum to make a successful roux.

Can you also prepare flour dumplings with the flour alternatives to white flour?

Similar to roux, it is essential for flour dumplings to stick together. You can usually achieve this with a gluten-containing flour. If you want to use one of our gluten-free flours for this, it is advisable to work with an additional binding agent such as guar gum.

Do you have gluten-free flour?

Of course, that's why the different types of flour are so popular. Basically, most of our flours are naturally gluten-free. However, cross-contamination with gluten can often occur during the packaging process, as our packers often also process foods containing gluten. For this reason, we do not label all flours as gluten-free. However, you have absolutely no need to worry about our organic flaxseed flour, organic chickpea flour and organic coconut flour.
