{"product_id":"chestnut-flour-250g","title":"Chestnut Flour 250g","description":"\u003cp\u003eChestnut flour is made from dried, ground sweet chestnuts — producing a naturally sweet, earthy, slightly nutty flour with a distinctive flavour that is unlike any other flour. Traditional in Italian and Corsican cooking for centuries, chestnut flour is the basis of Tuscan castagnaccio (chestnut cake), polenta di castagne, and various pasta and bread preparations in mountain regions of southern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvides \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex carbohydrates\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emanganese\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecopper\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVitamin B6\u003c\/strong\u003e, and dietary fibre. Naturally sweet — reduces need for added sugar. Naturally gluten-free, grain-free, and relatively low in fat compared to nut flours.

Stir in 50g raisins, 50g walnuts, 2 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, and a few pine nuts. Pour into a greased shallow tin and bake at 180°C for 30 minutes until just set and the edges pull away. Top with extra rosemary and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
