Swapping out the refined, white flour in your favorite baking recipe can have a big impact on the nutritional content of your favorite baked goods! Find out the benefits of different flours, and how to incorporate them into your recipes.

Rye, oats and barley flour are also among my favorites. I’ve also tried hazelnut flour, green pea flour and potato flour (not ordinary flour – works the same as corn flour in America or arrow root in Asia). Looking forward to trying amaranth flour and tef soon. About whole wheat flour – spelt/dinkel is about the same, just a more old-fashioned type, and that should mean, at least I hope so, healthier. I’m also looking forward to making different types of pasta with many of these cool flours.

Finally – quinoa flour

The other day we were finally able to get our hands on a few bags of quinoa flour. When we have time, we’ll start experimenting. First on the list is homemade pasta. So far we have more or less everything to try with, except tef (and whole spelt/dinkel/farro) and we’ll probably be able to get those in the coming week. Quinoa, chickpea flour and soy flour are the kinds we’ll try first, but we also have things like buckwheat flour (we’re not very keen on that, actually), hemp flour, oat flour and (ordinary) spelt/dinkel/farro. For something sweet we also have coconut flour, almond flour and hazelnut flour.

Have we missed any interesting type of flour that we might get our hands on here in Sweden (not anywhere near Stockholm)? We have amaranth flour, corn flour and potato flour too, but those will most likely go into the sweeter baked goods or something else.
