1 What is the amount of baking powder for 1 kg of flour with no baking powder?

For a lightweight and fluffy recipe, use 3% of baking powder, that is, 30g for 1kg of flour with no baking powder.

2 What are the benefits of wheat flour in paper bags instead of wheat flour in plastic bags? Is there any difference in flour composition?

The flour composition is the same in both bags, the only difference is the packaging material. The environmental damage caused by paper bags is smaller when compared to plastic bags, as their decomposition time is much lower, about 3 to 6 months. Plastic bags take about 400 years to decompose. Flour is better stored in paper bags at home, and product contamination occurs less frequently when using paper bags.

6 What is celiac disease?

It is a disease caused by a reaction to gluten that occurs in people (children or adults) who are genetically predisposed. These individuals present a serious alteration in the small intestine that prevents gluten absorption.

7 What’s the amount of iron and folic acid that the law requires for wheat flours?

Each 100g of wheat flour should contain at least 4.2mg (milligrams) of iron and 150mcg (micrograms) of folic acid. These amounts of iron and folic acid correspond to 30% and 75%, respectively, of the RDI (Reference Daily Intake) for adults. These are the minimum amounts for flour to be considered “fortified”. NOTE: 1 mcg = 1 milligram divided by 1,000.

8 What foods contain gluten?

Foods that contain wheat, oat, barley, malt and rye and/or their products in their composition. All our products contain gluten.

9 What is gluten?

Gluten is the combination of two groups of proteins: gliadins and glutenins, which are found in grains of wheat, barley, rye, etc. - more precisely in the endosperm, the nutritious reserve of the plant embryo. When we add water to the wheat flour and begin to mix this dough, glutenin molecules form a network attached to gliadin molecules. This is how gluten develops. It makes dough more elastic to be handled and resistant not to burst when stretched, as it occurs with bread and pasta.

10 Types of wheat flour:

The types of flour can be defined according to the application of the final product: bread flour, cookie flour, and pastry flour, which is directly linked with the type of wheat (soft, semi-hard, hard, etc.). They can also be classified according to the flour extraction rate (IN nº 8, of 3/6/05, MAPA) as: Flour Type 1 (max. ash content: 0.8%), Flour Type 2 (max. ash content: 1.4%) and whole wheat flour (max. ash content: 2.5%).
