Ingredients Flours
Amaranth Flour – Gluten free
Amaranth flour is gluten free & rich in protein. It is also high in dietary fibre & iron which makes it an excellent choice in gluten free baking. Just like quinoa flour, amaranth flour should not be used alone as it can give a stodgy, heavy feel to baked goods.
Barley Flour

Brown Teff Flour – Gluten free
