It is pretty much a good product. I still miss the other brand that I used to buy which I prefer, but it is not available anymore.
Great taste
I bought this because the label said plantain flour. The content was nothing like plantain flour. It was more amala flour.Won't be buying again.
I needed something versatile for cooking and baking, so I decided to try this plantain flour. It worked great in pancakes and even in a stew I made. It has a nice texture that reminds me a bit of other gluten-free flours, but with its own unique touch. The flour mixes well with other ingredients, which makes it easy to experiment with. A friend of mine suggested using it as a coating for chicken, and it worked really well for that too.However, it does have a bit of a distinct taste that might stand out in certain dishes. While this isn't a problem for me with the recipes I tried, I can see how it might throw off the flavor balance in some recipes.I didn't find any big lumps in the bag, which is awesome because there's nothing worse than having to sift flour. It's also quite handy that it comes in a resealable bag, so no spillage issues here.- Pros:- Versatile uses from pancakes to coating- Nice texture, blends well with other ingredients- Convenient packaging- Cons:- Distinct taste might not suit every dish- Might require some recipe adjustments to balance flavors
I wasn't sure what to expect as I'd never used plantain flour. But all I did was mix it with some oat flour to make gluten free pancakes and it worked great. I thought I would need to use it in special dishes but it seems so far to be pretty versatile. Especially if you're needing to eat gluten free, it's nice to have a break from the usual rice based GF flours.
