A range of Seitz gluten free flours

An interesting section of the Seitz brand is its range of alternative gluten free flours. Let’s start with tigernut flour which unlike what it’s name might imply, is not made from nuts. It actually is a small root vegetable that grows in Northern Africa and the Mediterranean. [1] Tigernut flour is also used by those following a paleo diet. Then there is the ancient Ethiopian teff flour. This is a high fibre food and a strong source of protein. [2] Banana flour is made from green bananas. This flour is gluten free and a resistant starch, making it friendly for those with celiac or gluten intolerance, and as a result it is popular for those who lean toward Paleo or primal-like diets. [3] And finally there is coconut flour which is a high fibre gluten free alternative to wheat made from dried, ground coconut meat. [4]
