The majority of the basis of human nutrition is flour. The most widely used is wheat flour but there are those called complementary or alternative flours. These products make it possible to get rid of the use of gluten and its derivatives. These types of flours provide different nutritional flavours from each other. Some of them have strong textures so the advice is to mix them. That is to say that we must put them together according to the preparations we want to provide. They are very digestive.
