For My Gluten-free Friends!

I'm pretty pumped by a discovery I made over the holidays - Grape skin flour. Only a gluten-free nut would get excited when they find a new flour, but this flour packs a punch like no other. Even your gluten-friends should have this in their pantry! It's antioxidant rich - just look at these nutritional facts...

Per 100 g flour:

• omega 6 - 64 g
• omega 3 - 30.2g
• potassium - 2100 mg (65% daily value)
• fiber - 52 gm (208% daily value)
• Protein - 12 gm
• Calcium - 70% daily value
• Iron - 710% daily value

If I could eat it straight out of the bag I would! But sadly it's a bit tart, so I'm simply adding a couple of tablespoons to all of my baking - gives a rich colour somewhat like cocoa powder to the end product. I had it in my pancakes this morning. Yumm - feel healthier already. :)

Where do you get this miracle stuff? My local gourmet store carried it - but here's the contact info on the package:

Vintage Flour Niagara Inc.

1811 Niagara Stone Rd., Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario - L0S 1J0

1-905-468-1259

If you have any recommendations for me, please share!

Warmly, Beverley
