Chestnut flour

Dried and ground chestnuts

Chestnut flour is made from dried, ground chestnuts. It is 100% natural, without additives and naturally gluten-free.

Chestnut flour has a mild, sweet taste, also enjoyed by children. Thanks to its light, yet firm texture, chestnut flour is more similar to wheat flour than other gluten-free alternatives. Baked goods with chestnut flour need less sugar than pies, cakes and biscuits with regular flour.

Favourite in Italian cuisine

Chestnut flour is a popular ingredient in Italian kitchens. You can use it to make tasty chestnut pancakes - better known as necci. These are traditionally served with ricotta and honey or just deliciously pure. Chestnut flour is also a staple in castagnaccio. This lightly sweet pastry from Tuscany contains chestnut flour, pine nuts, raisins and rosemary.

Use

Chestnut flour does not have strong rising properties. Use it in adjusted recipes like castagnaccio and other flat pastries. Or replace half of the flour in recipes by chestnut flour for more flavour and texture. Chestnut flour is an absolute favourite in baked goods in autumn and winter like pumpkin muffins and gingerbread. You can also use chestnut flour in a crumble on pies.
