Description
"Some ingredients are used by the handful, others need only a spoonful. Bamboo flour belongs to the second kind."
Bamboo Flour | 100% Bamboo Fibre
Bamboo flour: an ingredient for the spoon, not the cup
Liovela Bamboo Flour – a natural powder from young bamboo shoots for baking, cooking and thickening.
The ingredient list says 100% bamboo fibre, a natural powder obtained from young bamboo shoots. It is not a cereal flour and should not be treated like ordinary flour: it will not replace wheat flour one to one. It works as an addition that changes the structure of dough, thickens sauces and raises the fibre content of a recipe. Start with a spoonful and judge the rest by the result.
Rule One
Start with a small amount
Bamboo flour is almost entirely fibre, and fibre absorbs a lot of liquid. So in cakes, rolls and pancakes replace only 1–2 tablespoons of flour from the recipe, and if the batter gets too thick, add a little water or milk.
For sauces and soups, stir a teaspoon into cold liquid, whisk well and bring to the boil. You see how much it has thickened only after a few minutes, so don't add more straight away.
In The Kitchen
Bamboo flour: 5 ideas
A touch in the dough
In a yeast dough made with 500 g wheat flour, replace 2 tablespoons of flour with bamboo flour and add about 2 tablespoons more water. Knead as usual.
A thicker batter with no other additions
Add a tablespoon of bamboo flour for every 200 ml of milk in pancake batter. Mix thoroughly, with no lumps.
An alternative to a roux
Stir a teaspoon of bamboo flour into 250 ml cold stock, whisk well, bring to the boil and cook 2 minutes. For sauces and cream soups.
A quick addition
Add a teaspoon to yoghurt, a smoothie or porridge, stir well and wait a few minutes for it to thicken.
For baking
Replace 1–2 tablespoons of flour in a muffin or oat biscuit recipe with bamboo flour. The bake will be a little denser.
Add Liovela Bamboo Flour to your basket and start with one spoonful.
Storage
A simple rule
Bamboo flour keeps its properties if stored in a dry, cool place. After opening, close the pack well, because the powder readily absorbs moisture from the air.
Well closed, it stays free-flowing with no lumps.

Did You Know?
The plant that grows fastest
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world: some species can grow around a metre in a day. Bamboo flour is obtained from young shoots, not from the mature stalks we know from furniture and decoration.
Who Liovela Bamboo Flour Is For
For people who like to experiment in the kitchen
For those who look for unusual ingredients when baking and cooking, and for people who want to raise the fibre content of their recipes. For those who like single-ingredient products. It is not a flour for every day, but in the right hands it can make an interesting difference.
Frequently Asked Questions
The most important answers (FAQ)
1. What is bamboo flour?
A natural powder obtained from young bamboo shoots. The ingredient list says 100% bamboo fibre.
2. Can I use it instead of ordinary flour?
Not one to one. It is almost pure fibre and absorbs a lot of liquid, so it is best used to replace only 1–2 tablespoons of flour in a recipe.
3. How much bamboo flour should I add to dough?
Start with 1–2 tablespoons per recipe and add a little liquid if needed. The result depends on the recipe, so it is better to start small.
4. How do I thicken a sauce with it?
Stir a teaspoon into cold liquid, whisk well, bring to the boil and cook 2 minutes. You judge the thickness after a few minutes.
5. Why does it have 192 kcal if it is almost pure fibre?
EU rules assign fibre 2 kcal per gram (8 kJ), so 96 g of fibre gives about 192 kcal on the label.
6. Is it high in fibre?
Yes. 96 g fibre per 100 g meets the EU criteria for “high fibre”.
7. How much salt does it contain?
0.2 g per 100 g of product.
8. Does the product contain allergens?
The ingredient itself, bamboo fibre, is not an allergen. The product may, however, contain traces of peanuts, other nuts, sesame seeds and cereals containing gluten.
9. How should I store bamboo flour?
In a dry, cool place, closed well after opening, because the powder absorbs moisture.
10. Can I add it to a smoothie?
Yes, a teaspoon in a smoothie or yoghurt. Stir well and wait a few minutes for it to thicken.
