Benefits of Almond Flour:
A typical recipe for an Chicken Strips uses wheat flour. However, many are unable to consume wheat flour due to allergies, inflammatory diseases, celiac disease and other issues. So, almond flour has become an increasingly popular substitute for wheat flour. Almond flour is made from almonds so it’s completely gluten free. Dieters can make almond flour by blending almonds or purchasing it in any grocery store. Besides being gluten free, there are also many healthy benefits to almond flour. Almond flour contains manganese and magnesium. Manganese is important for helping the body heal after injury and for breaking down cholesterol and carbohydrates. Magnesium helps the body manage blood sugar. Other health benefits include heart health and diabetes control. It also contains prebiotic dietary fiber for digestive health and vitamin E. Vitamin E is important for brain health, therefore, can help decrease your risk for cognitive diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Benefits of Jicama:
Jicama is a vegetable composed of about 86 percent to 90 percent water, so it’s naturally low in calories. It’s also low in natural sugars and starch. Therefore, it has a low score on the glycemic index. It fits most diets, including the vegan, Paleo and the ketogenic diet plan.
