Farinha de Aveia, or oat flour, is a finely ground ingredient made from whole oats. Common in Brazilian and global cuisine, it serves as a versatile alternative to wheat flour for baking, thickening sauces, or adding texture to recipes like cakes, pancakes, and smoothies. Rich in dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, it supports heart health by managing cholesterol levels and fostering healthy digestion. Oat flour is an excellent source of essential minerals such as iron and magnesium, as well as plant-based protein, making it ideal for promoting sustained energy. Naturally gluten-free—if processed in dedicated facilities—it suits individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. However, its nutrient density can vary depending on refining processes, with whole-grain versions offering higher fiber and nutrient content. With its subtle nutty flavor and numerous health benefits, Farinha de Aveia is a staple for health-conscious and flavor-focused eaters alike.
