Still not sure which foods you should stay away from? Here's a list of the most common grain-containing foods:
If you love almonds and follow a grain free diet, then almond flour is bound to become your new best friend. A superior gluten free, grain free and low carb flour, Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour is made with California-grown almonds that have been blanched and ground into a fine meal that's ideal for gluten and grain free baking.
Almond flour is a great processed grain alternative that lends a nutty flavor and moist texture to many baked goods, and baking with it is simple! From almond flour pancakes to bread and cookies, using almond flour as a grain free ingredient swap in your recipes is sure to be a hit. And because it pairs well with other alternative baking flours like coconut flour and tapioca starch, it's easy to replicate the flavor and textures of traditional baked goods without loads of effort.
Aside from being incredibly delicious, almond flour is nutritious as well! This non wheat flour is loaded with essential nutrients like vitamin E, protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fats, making it an excellent choice for low-carb and paleo diets. Whether you're baking goods to fit into your grain free lifestyle or cooking for someone who's following a low-carb diet, almond flour is an excellent choice.
Chickpea flour, also known as garbanzo bean flour, is an excellent source of fiber and a prevalent ingredient in gluten free and grain free baking. One of the creamiest and tastiest beans around, chickpeas lend a sweet, rich flavor to baked goods and are loaded with protein, dietary fiber and iron. Bob's Red Mill Chickpea Flour is freshly milled and 100% stone ground to ensure that you are always provided with the best of the best.
Popular in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking, chickpea flour is used in dishes like falafel, hummus, socca, poppadoms and farinata. It's an excellent ingredient for grain-free baking and can be used to create crackers, pizza crust, bread and so much more. Used to bind ingredients together and thicken liquids, chickpea flour also works well in cakes, muffins and even soup recipes. Like flaxseed meal, garbanzo bean flour can replace up to 25% of the flour in your recipes for a grain free way to increase protein and fiber.
