And who better to embody this gustatory revolution than the first green-starred chef Nadia Sammut? She is renowned for her refined and inventive cuisine. She has transformed her Michelin star into a symbol of excellence in gluten-free gastronomy.
The Triumph of Gluten-Free Creativity
Gluten-free flours are becoming more and more popular. This is due to spreading food intolerances and conscious lifestyle choices.
Gluten-free cooking is much more than a simple adaptation of traditional recipes. It is a celebration of creativity and innovation, where each dish is an ode to the richness of flavors and textures.
These flours come from different cereals and legumes, offering new flavors while being gluten-free for those who need it.
What are the gluten-free flours?
Here are some examples of gluten-free flours :
Corn Flour: Corn can be turned into flour, semolina, or starch, depending on its fineness. This flour, rich in starches and gluten-free, is appreciated for its neutral taste that pairs well with all foods. It is distinguished by its slightly yellow color, which gives a particular hue to preparations.
Buckwheat Flour: Also called “black wheat,” this cereal offers gluten-free flour with a unique taste and dense texture. It can be combined with other more neutral flours.
Millet Flour: Originating from Africa, millet flour is very beneficial for health. It can be mixed with a neutral flour to soften its characteristic taste.
Chickpea Flour: Chickpea flour has a smooth texture that is easy to work within the kitchen.
Spelt Flour: This flour, considered “anti-stress,” is very nutritious. This low-gluten alternative is suitable for intolerant individuals.
Lentil Flour: This naturally gluten-free legume provides rich and healthy flour.
The Role of the MÉLIA Mill
The Mélia mills, traditionally associated with wheat flour, are also suitable for the production of these alternative flours. Chickpea, lentil, buckwheat, corn flours, and others offer chefs new flavors and textures to experiment with.
