EKO acorn flour
BIO Acorn flour, 500 g
Dary Natury acorn flour is a gluten-free alternative to cereal flour. Compared to them, it is several times richer in potassium, calcium and magnesium, which are key minerals for health. The flour contains a large amount of B vitamins. It contains very valuable fiber for the functioning of the digestive tract and more than 5% unsaturated fatty acids. Acorns deserve to be called a "superfood", i.e. a food product that actively and positively affects the state of human health. They contain extremely useful and balanced proportions of nutrients - a high level of fat and moderate amounts of protein and carbohydrates. Dary Natury acorn flour is from organic farming. It has a very pleasant nutty flavor, which can become a dominant note in baked goods such as crackers or classic flatbread. It can be used as an enriching additive to cereal flour in a ratio of 2/3 cereal flour and 1/3 acorn flour for baking bread, buns, pastries and other products, and can also be added to all dishes in which cereal flour is usually added.
With care for nature:
Acorns are an environmentally friendly food idea. Oak trees do not require extensive cultivation like wheat or corn, and their supply is closely linked to the distribution of deciduous trees, which are so important for maintaining the biological balance of our planet. The collection of acorns itself does not cause devastation of nature or soil erosion. Processing acorns (to remove bitter tannins) to obtain flour is quite laborious, but it is not fundamentally different from processing cereals or other crops, such as olives.
What does acorn flour contain and how does it work:
As for the vitamin and mineral composition, acorn flour is valuable primarily as a good source of B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, copper, potassium and iron. More than 60 active antioxidant compounds are found in the acorn core, including catechins, resveratrol, quercetin and gallic acid.
Considering all this, enriching the diet with acorn flour can bring the following health benefits:
• Reduction of digestive system diseases, especially constipation, stomach pain, bloating, nausea and diarrhea. This effect is explained by the positive effect of fiber on the bacterial microflora of the intestine;
• Prevention of diseases related to the action of free radicals, including type 2 diabetes;
• Lowering blood sugar levels;
• Improving the general condition of the body after exhaustion. This is due to the relatively high caloric content without the presence of sugars and large amounts of saturated fatty acids.
• Reducing the incidence of viral and bacterial infections, thanks to the anti-inflammatory effect of individual antioxidants.
