It is precisely its nutritional properties that make it a precious flour. In fact, it contains an extremely high percentage of protein, boasts the right ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6, is rich in fibre, minerals and vitamins, including a natural antioxidant like vitamin E. Moreover, it is a gluten-free product, making it highly digestible and suitable for those with coeliac disease.

Hemp flour is used for various preparations, both sweet and savoury.

Hemp flour lends itself to various uses, both for the preparation of sweet and savoury products. Therefore, cakes of all kinds, biscuits, pasta, but also bread, or to thicken soups or as a coating.

Being a gluten-free flour, in preparations that require leavening, it is necessary to combine it with flours that contain gluten. We are talking about those made from wheat, rye, kamut, and spelt. The percentage of hemp seed flour can vary depending on the preparations.
