Chestnut Flour
|
Chestnut flour comes from the tree nut known as chestnuts. It is unique in the fact that it primarily consists of carbohydrates. It is low in calories and fat, with no cholesterol. Chestnuts are a great gluten-free flour alternative, especially mixing with other gluten-free flours.
Uses: Breads, pie crust, cakes, crepes, muffins, sauces, soups Key Nutrients: Fiber, protein, vitamin C, vitamins D, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 How To Make Your Own: Take raw chestnuts, place in high output blender, food processor, or coffee grinder and grind until fine. Keep a close eye on it because if you blend too long it will turn into chestnut butter. You may have clumps that you can separate with your fingers. |
