Eurostar adds gluten-free flour to its clean label lineup

A blend of vegetables and seeds makes this gluten-free flour higher in fiber than others in the category, the UK-based company said. It is also low in fat and suitable for customers following gluten-free, celiac, vegan, halal and kosher diets.

The technical development team tested the flour intensively to ensure it could ‘handle like a traditional flour.’ Milled through a traditional Italian technique, the flour offers what Eurostar called ‘an optimum grind.’

Consumer demand spawned this product, but commercial varieties lack versatility, said Philip Bull, ingredients expert at Eurostar.

“We wanted to create a product that has excellent extensibility that is consistently reliable and ultimately tastes incredible – certainly as good as, if not better than similar products which contain gluten,”​ he said.

Eurostar also sells several pulse and ancient-grain flours made from base ingredients such as chia seeds, chickpeas, sorghum and cassava.
