believe in the benefits of this flour for health reasons, through
various analyses, it has been confirmed to be an alternative
for dietetics and its gluten free. In any case a positive alternative
within the use of any type of flour.

flour, as it's gluten free and good for people who can't
take gluten in their diet. |

for the bakery industry , as it's natural sugars contents
it's really high, avoiding the necessity of adding to much
extra sugar (good option for diabetics) |

The high fibre content of its raw
material (Tigernuts) makes the product very healthy, as
everyone needs a minimum fibre contribution each day. |

does not loose any of its nutritious properties in the milling
process. |
