What are the 5 types of flours that control diabetes naturally? 



As you must be aware, these days, diabetes has become a huge lifestyle-based disease. In India, we rarely come across a family where it is not prevalent. But don’t worry, as you are aware that there are natural ways to lower blood sugar and a1c. Establishing good eating habits is the most essential of all these changes.

Today, I'll be sharing some information about four different types of flours on the market that you can easily incorporate into your diet to naturally control diabetes.

          

        Here is the list for you,

  • 1.      Walnut flour
  • 2.      Almond flour
  • 3.      Ground Flaxseed
  • 4.      Soy flour
  • 5.      Coconut flour

 

I highly recommend that before incorporating any of these into your diet, you consult with your clinical dietician, as each of us has a unique physicality and should take care of these things.

So, let’s begin...


Walnut Flour

Walnuts are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. And these can be made at home by grinding walnuts. 

  • Walnuts have the property of controlling diabetes without medication, which means that you can use them while baking your favourite cakes and biscuits.
  • The glycemic index of walnuts is low, i.e., 15. which means that the blood glucose level increases gradually.
  • Walnuts have a strong and nutty flavor, which you can use to enhance the taste of the dish.
  • Walnuts are expensive. For me, they are LOL! Don’t worry, we have alternatives; continue reading.

Almond Flour

  • Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats, which are good fats for us. You can make it by grinding dry or blanched (peeled) almonds.
  • Almond flour can help manage your blood sugar levels, which means you can use it in baked products.
  • The taste of almond flour is nutty and a bit sweet, the same as raw almonds. Using this in cooking increases the taste of the dish. Yet, they are high in calories, so use them carefully.
  • The glycemic index of almonds is lower than that of walnuts, i.e., only 1. That means, it is good for diabetic people.
  • Almonds are inexpensive if compared to the cost of walnuts, and they are also a healthier alternative.

Ground Flaxseeds

  • Flaxseed is full of healthy fats, antioxidants, protein, and fiber. Ground flaxseed is made by grinding raw or roasted flaxseed.
  • Flaxseeds lower the blood sugar level, which means you can add them to cookies, muffins, breads, and other baked items.
  • Flaxseeds have a slightly nutty flavor, which makes them ideal for adding to sweet and savoury foods.
  • The glycemic index of flaxseeds is 35, which means it won't spike your blood sugar levels.
  • Flaxseeds are cost-effective if you compare the price with almonds and walnuts.

Soy Flour

  • Soy flour is a rich source of plant protein and high in magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and dietary fiber. Soy flour is a fine powder made by grinding roasted soybeans.
  • Soya flour is high in protein. It is anti-diabetic and gives the body energy.
  • The aroma of soy flour is similar to that of peanuts. Many bakers use soy flour in baking because of its high nutritional value. It also enhances the taste of food.
  • The glycemic index of soy is 16, which signifies that it helps balance the sugar level in our body.
  • Soy flour is inexpensive, which makes it the most affordable flour to use.

Coconut flour

  • Coconut flour is gluten-free, low-carb, and keto-friendly. Coconut flour contains a lot of protein, fats, and fiber. It's easy to make if you have leftover coconut pulp from making coconut milk.
  • Coconut flour is low in carbohydrates, which helps keep the blood sugar level low.
  • Coconut flour is sweet in taste, which makes it easier to use in baked food items.
  • The glycemic index of coconut is 51, which shows that it can control blood sugar levels and protect organs.
  • Coconut flour is very cost-effective compared to others.

Conclusion:

The above-mentioned flours will also assist you by slowing down your sugar absorption. They are a boon for diabetic people. These grains give you energy as well as protect your organs from the harsh effects of sugar spikes.

I prefer using almond flour, which I usually use when baking cookies, biscuits, cakes, and pancakes. It is best for diabetics.
