Hi, I am Raadhika. Let's talk about gluten free flour.
Gluten free flour is a great healthy alternative for baking cakes, cookies,
breads and cupcakes, without using wheat, barley, rye or oats.
For a celiac sufferer or someone with a gluten allergy or gluten intolerance, gluten free flours are a life-saver.
On the other hand, if like me, you want to go gluten free
for health reasons,
these flours open up to us a whole new world of possibilities!
Cooking and baking with gluten free flour is more in the nature of an adventure
with regards to taste, texture and structure of the bakes goods.
A gluten free flour mix is can be made up of brown or white rice flour, tapioca and potato flour with xanthan gum added as a binding ingredient.
But if glycemic index is an issue,
then white rice, tapioca and potato have a high glycemic index.
Coconut flour is a great healthy alternative for wheat flour in gluten free baking.
If you don't have any nut allergy concerns, then almond flour is a delicious low glycemic flour.
Gluten free bread made from soy flour and corn flour is another option if you are following a gluten free diet.
As you can see, gluten free baking is not limited to just wheat products.
There is a whole world of gluten free products to choose from.
It just takes some time and experimenting
to find the formula that suits us best.
