Who Needs Gluten?

Many adults and children have wheat allergies and cannot tolerate gluten, the substance in flour that helps hold dough together, trap air bubbles and make bread light and airy. Most of them have given up on the idea of delicious desserts…but they don’t have to! Raw desserts are the perfect solution for anyone with either celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Healthy nut flour readily replaces white flour.

What’s REALLY Sweet – Healthy Nut Flour

Nuts are one of the best plant sources of protein. They are rich in fiber, phytonutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin E and selenium. Nuts are also high in plant sterols and fat – but mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (omega 3 – the good fats) which have all been shown to lower LDL cholesterol.

The FDA has approved the heart health claim for almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, some pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts as these nuts contain less than 4g of saturated fats per 50g.
