4 Healthy Alternatives to White Flour You Should Try

Chickpea flour

This is made of, you guessed it, finely ground dried chickpeas. It’s gluten- and nut-free and is full of folate (important for cardiovascular health), fiber (for gut health) and B vitamins (necessary for a healthy metabolism). It’s also a smart option for your wallet. Chickpea flour does have a stronger, earthier and nutty flavor compared to other flours, but can be used in sweet and savory dishes alike.

 

Cassava flour

Cassava is also commonly known as yucca, a well-known root vegetable in South America. The flour is made from grating and drying the whole root. Similar to chickpea flour, it’s a gluten- and nut-free option that’s affordable and versatile. If you’re watching your weight, cassava is a good option because it’s typically lower in calories than other flour options. It’s also high in vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant to help relieve stress, support your immune system and can contribute to skin health.
