Flour premix for celiacs

The flour premix is ​​essential for the diet of celiacs

A premix is ​​a combination of several substances that is used to make another product . The term is usually used in the kitchen .

Diet for celiacs

In foods for celiacs , the idea of ​​premix is ​​used to refer to a combination of different gluten -free flours . The premix may include rice flour, potato flour, soy flour, corn starch and cassava starch, for example .

With this premix it is possible to prepare breads, cookies and cakes suitable for people who suffer from celiac disease. This means that celiac individuals can consume meals made with premix without suffering disorders.

How to make premix

Although it is possible to buy this flour premix suitable for feeding celiac people, many prefer to make it at home with their own ingredients, to invest less money and feel greater independence from the industry when it comes to eating. Luckily, it is an easy recipe that we can all make with a minimum of effort.

Before starting, it is necessary to point out that each of the three flours that must be used in this premix has a well-defined function, the proportions are not so strict, but we can vary them according to our own tastes. Likewise, if one of the three runs out before the other two, there is no problem. We are talking about corn starch , cassava starch and rice flour .

In principle, for one kilo of premix, we should use 400 grams of the first and 300 of each of the others. On the other hand, no one prevents us from adding other ingredients, such as powdered milk and xanthan gum, of which we can add 5 and 2 tablespoons, respectively. After mixing everything, it is necessary to sift it before storing it in a container that isolates moisture . A very useful tip is to write down the manufacturing date and the expiration date (the latter must coincide with the closest of the products used).

Quick preparation

There are companies, on the other hand, that sell premixes to make cooking certain dishes easier and faster. In this framework we can name the premix for making fainá (which includes chickpea flour and wheat flour) and the premix for pizza (with wheat flour and yeast).

We can also find breadcrumbs mixed with dehydrated garlic and parsley, premix to prepare tempura and even to make mashed potatoes. In any case, a completely homemade dish is always more delicious, but it is true that sometimes we do not have enough time to cook and these types of products can be of great help to get by.

animal feed

The concept of premix also appears in animal feed . This is the name given to a mixture of additives that serves as a prior instance to the production of the food itself.

These premixes may contain vitamins , amino acids and enzymes, among other ingredients. In this way, they contribute to correcting nutrient deficiencies.

Musical premix

You can compose a piece of music with a premix and then replace it with the final mix

in music

In the field of music the term premix is ​​present. The notion refers to a mix that is not the final version of a song, but rather is developed to perform different tests.

Mixing is the process of combining different sounds on one or more channels. Before this instance, it is common for premixes to be made with the recorded instruments.

Thanks to the existence of premixes, it is possible to sketch a piece of music to have a general idea of ​​what its structure and melody will be in a short time. Once these and other aspects have been finalized, they can be replaced by the final mixes.
