From grapes to flour, the crowning achievement of the Back to Basic project in which sustainability takes center stage throughout the production chain
As the final piece to crown the Back to Basic project, based on the circular economy and sustainability, we decided to produce a flour made from the grape seeds of the berries of our grapes from Raboso.
A project born with the intention of not producing waste and giving a new life to what would otherwise become waste matter.
A flour, the one obtained from the grape seeds, gluten free and with excellent potential for use, both in the preparation of cakes and baked goods, such as bread, breadsticks and pizza. Grape seeds, in fact, which account for about 5 percent of the weight of the grain, are known for their high content of "good" fatty acids, a lot of fiber and protein.
Also on the occasion of Valentine's Day, we have come up with a new recipe: here we present the recipe for cookies from the"Officina del Vino":
Ingredients:
100 g 0 flour
10 g grape seed flour Raboso
65 g raw cane sugar
75 g water
10 g extra virgin olive oil
4 g baking powder
Procedure:
1. First, mix together all the powders.
2. Emulsify the water with the oil and add the powders to that emulsion until a smooth mixture is obtained.
3. In a baking pan with baking paper, proceed to form the cookies into heart shapes.
4. Bake the cookies in the oven at a temperature of 250°C for 15 minutes.
5. To make them even yummier, you can add chocolate chips.
