BIONA Organic Chestnut Flour, 350 GR

This product is delicious. I used it to make homemade chestnut gnocchi, and it performed beautifully in my homemade recipe. I used about half a box of chestnut flour and made enough gnocchi for three people. It is, of course, more expensive than regular flour, but I wanted the chestnut's taste and texture in a special dish with rabbit ragu, and it did not disappoint. Plain wheat flour would not have performed anywhere near as well. I only wish it were available in a larger size at a lower price. I would buy more if it were.

This is one of the best quality gluten-free flours. You can make delicious cakes and cookies with this Italian product. Taste: Delicious Quality: Excellent Protein content: High protein Mixability: Mix with almond flour, buckwheat flour, or enjoy alone

So much better than the I♥️me brand I tried that tasted burned. Nice mild flavor :-)

I was disappointed with this purchase. Amazon missed the promised delivery date, and the product itself did not meet expectations. I baked with this flour the same day it arrived, substituting 30% of my regular flour with chestnut flour, which should be more than enough to bring through its characteristic nutty, slightly sweet flavor. Unfortunately, there was no noticeable chestnut flavor at all. The cake tasted no different from my usual bakes made without chestnut flour. There was no aroma, no nuttiness, nothing distinctive. For a specialty flour, this was extremely underwhelming. This flour seems stale or very low quality. I regret this purchase. Buyers be aware.

I made Castagnaccio Pugliese for our Christmas celebration. The flour has a wonderful taste and texture--perfect for the cake. I am glad that it is organic. Although a bit pricey, worth the cost. I will be ordering this again.

Excellent quality flour and fresh. Works wonderfully for baking and when sifting it there are no particles left.

How have I NEVER heard of this??!? I want to figure out how to cook with this.

Poor quality

I am diabetic and cannot eat normal flour (all white wheat flour is mostly simple carbs). Substitute products (typically legume flour like chick pea or lentil) are heavy and carry quite a bit of the taste of the legume it is made from (yuck!). They are also very difficult to cook right (super heavy and getting the right cooking time is near impossible - if you are under its grainy and over it becomes mushy). Chestnut four was a real find for me. It is mostly made of fibers and complex carbs (which I can eat). It tastes a little nutty but very pleasantly so. It is quite light compared to legume flours and easy to cook with. The taste and texture are the closest that I have found to regular white wheat flour. I have used it in gravy (the slightly nutty flavor works really well with meat or poultry), as a soup thickener, and as baking flour (with sugar substitutes, another source of frustration that I could expound about a lot). If you are diabetic and curious, monk fruit (great taste, terribly expensive, no calories and no sugar) and erythritol (tastes okay - better cold than cooked, affordable, no calories, but still has some sugars in it) are my go to sugar substitutes. Back on topic, chestnut flour is expensive (all brands are). I have no idea how this brand compares to others in terms of taste and quality. But I am perfectly happy with it and will keep experimenting. On a more general note, for those of you without diabetes, if you enjoy cooking and baking, I would also recommend trying chestnut flour. It has an interesting refined taste. And it is better for your health. Complex carbs are absorbed much more gradually than simple carbs, which prevents glucose spikes in the bloodstream (which are bad for you in a lot of ways, even if you do not have diabetes). Happy cooking! :-)

I bought this as a grain-free flour to try with baking. Goes especially well in gluten-free chocolate pancakes... adds a rich nuttiness that's packed with good fats. Expensive, but it's as little-used ingredient, the quality doesn't get any better than this. Organic too.

Finally got around to baking with this and made a chestnut flour cake for Xmas. It had a soft texture, similar to a sticky toffee pudding, and was so delicious. Everyone loved it and I'll definitely make it again.

Great if you’re looking for a nutty flour. It was not stale or rancid tasting. Will use again! I just find it expensive for what you’re getting, less than 3 cups.

yes its good
