Harina, or flour, is a staple ingredient derived from grinding grains like wheat, corn, or rice, as well as other plant sources such as almonds or oats. Its origins trace back thousands of years, playing a vital role in cuisines worldwide—from breads and pastas to pastries and tortillas. Nutritional content varies by type; whole grain varieties retain bran and germ, offering fiber, vitamins, and minerals, while refined flours are stripped of these nutrients, leaving primarily starch. Harina is an excellent energy source due to its carbohydrate content, but overconsumption of refined versions may contribute to weight gain or spikes in blood sugar. Whole grain flour is considered a healthier alternative, promoting digestive health and sustained energy. Gluten-free options, made from rice, almond, or coconut, cater to those with sensitivities. Its versatility makes it a key ingredient in countless recipes, supporting both traditional and modern culinary creations.
