Types of flour, their benefits and use in the kitchen
Flour is one of the most common and used products in the kitchen. They are used to make baked goods, doughs, sauces and many other dishes. Although wheat flour is the most commonly used, more and more people are choosing alternative flours because of their unique properties and benefits. In this article, we will look at the properties and uses of chickpea, spelled, almond, coconut, banana and buckwheat flour.
Chickpea flour
Chickpea flour is made from ground chickpeas and is gluten-free. Chickpea flour is high in protein and fiber and low in carbohydrates. As a result, chickpea flour is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, as well as those who want to reduce their carbohydrate intake. This flour has a distinct flavor and is an excellent choice for crackers, pancakes and cupcakes and other doughs.
Spelled flour
Spelled flour is made from spelled wheat, which is similar to wheat but has less gluten. This flour has more protein, fiber and nutrients than wheat flour. As a result, spelled flour can help improve digestion, as well as provide a longer feeling of satiety. This flour is perfect for baking, bread or pasta.
Coconut flour
Coconut flour is made from the flesh of dried coconuts and is very useful as it is rich in protein, fiber, minerals and vitamins such as iron, potassium, zinc. It also contains lauric acid, which is also abundant in coconut oil. This acid is known and interpreted for its beneficial properties for the body. Coconut flour has a mild and sweet taste, so it is very suitable for making desserts or cakes.
Buckwheat flour
Buckwheat flour is made from crushed buckwheat grains and is another alternative to wheat flour. They are a great choice for people who are trying to reduce their grain intake. Buckwheat flour is rich in fiber, protein, iron and calcium. They are suitable for making bread, pancakes, porridge and other dishes.

Banana flour is made from dried bananas. Banana flour is rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals such as potassium, magnesium, vitamins B6 and C. Banana flour can be used in many dishes. They are especially useful for baked goods, as they add moisture to the consistency.
