![WHAT YOU SHOULD REALLY KNOW ABOUT ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR [swipe + read 💚]⠀
⠀
Are you buying all-purpose (or plain) flour without checking the label? 😬⠀
⠀
Did you know that bag in your hand might contain chlorine, bromates, or peroxides? 😳⠀
⠀
There was a point about 8 years ago where I did a 180. I stopped baking with white sugar, bleached flours, and food dyes and instead I started experimenting with honey, buckwheat flour, and beet powder.⠀
⠀
This wasn’t because I went through a gluten-free period or some sort of cleanse – it was because I started doing research into the ingredients I was using to make the cakes and cookies that I fed to my loved ones.⠀
⠀
What I didn’t know at the beginning was how many commercial baking ingredients were so highly refined and processed. It’s when I started delving deeper into the manufacturing around these ingredients that I decided I needed to make a change.⠀
⠀
👉🏻 Today I'm dishing the dirt on the flour refinement + bleaching process so you can make informed buying decisions that are right for you.⠀
