Nut flours are high in protein as well as healthy fats, with the benefit of grain & gluten-free.
Here are the best nut flour examples I use daily.
Coconut Flour
has a mildly sweet flavor that lends itself to cakes, cookies, breads, and other baked goods.
coconut flour contains a substantial amount of fat.
This fat is primarily saturated and largely comprised of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may reduce inflammation and support healthy metabolism
Coconut flour is also rich in antioxidants and appears to have antimicrobial properties
Almond Flour
The most important health benefits of this flour include its ability to improve heart health, help protect against certain cancers, lower your risk of diabetes, boost energy, and aid in weight loss, among others.
There is a notable amount of nutrients found in almond flour, including high concentrations of healthy fats, dietary fiber, and protein. In 125 grams of almond flour, there is 14% of your daily protein requirements, as well as nearly 10% of the dietary fiber you need each day. It is also a great source of carbohydrates, particularly for people who are replacing wheat flour in their diet. There is also a significant amount of vitamin E, more than 100% of your daily requirement per serving, in addition to good amounts of iron, riboflavin, calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
Walnut Flour
Walnuts are believed to be among the most nutritious nuts. Even though walnut flour is made from kernels that have already been pressed for walnut oil, walnut flour still provides various health benefits because of nutrients like:
Omega-3 fatty acids: Walnuts are not only rich in omega 3 fatty acids, but they are also the only nut that contains alpha-linoleic acid (ALA).
Protein: Like walnuts, walnut flour contains a considerable amount of protein per serving.
Dietary fiber: Walnut flour is rich in dietary fiber, which makes it important for health in many different ways.
The nutritional profile of walnut flour makes it effective for treating and preventing conditions like:
Heart disease: The ALA and dietary fiber in walnut flour can help to lower your risk of heart disease.
Cognitive decline: Recent studies show walnuts to be effective for improving cognitive function among people who eat walnuts regularly. These people perform at higher levels on cognitive tests. This benefit is likely due to the amount of omega 3 fatty acids found in the nuts.
Diabetes: Walnut flour has a glycemic index of 0, making it one of the best flours for people with diabetes or who are prediabetic.
Celiac disease: Walnut flour is a gluten-free flour, which means that people with celiac disease and other conditions that result in gluten intolerance can safely consume it.
Cancer: The high omega 3 fatty acid content in walnuts may make it valuable for preventing cancer.
