FLOUR MORE THAN JUST SELF RAISING HOW TO USE OTHER TYPES OF FLOURS Nadja-Maurina Koerner Mission Nutrition Teff, coconut, Tsampa, Almond Flour and amaranth flour are types of alternative flours that offer a range of benefits. Teff flour is high in protein, iron, and fiber, making it a great addition to a healthy diet. Coconut flour is low-carb and gluten-free, making it a popular choice for those with dietary restrictions. Amaranth flour is also high in protein and is a good source of calcium and iron. Tsampa is known for its high fibre and protein content, making it a filling and nutritious addition to meals. It also has a low glycemic index, which means it helps regulate blood sugar levels. These and other flours can be used in a variety of dishes, from baked goods to savory meals. In this workshop we will have tasters of food that can be made using these flours and recipes you can use at home £5 deposit for workshop which will be refunded on attendance
