"  Anti-Grain Flour, a startup that just hit its funding goal on Kickstarter last week, has found a new way to help you keep your diet grain- and gluten-free. Dubbed &amp;quot;Vibrant Flours for Vibrant Kitchens&amp;quot; by founders Jerry and Amanda Roback, an adorable couple from Denver, Colorado, Anti-Grain&amp;#039;s all-fruit-and-vegetable flours are made entirely from domestically grown products, and claim to be entirely GMO- and allergen-free. They&amp;#039;re also Paleo-friendly and even certified Kosher \u2014 talk about appealing to the special diet masses. The company raised so much money through the crowd-funding platform (a whopping $18,000) that they will be able to have their products verified by the NON GMO Project. Anti-Grain produces a handful of flour variations, including Sweet Potato Flour, Squash Flour, and Apple Flour, and suggests recipes for the ideal use of each, like Paleo Dark Chocolate Brownies with Squash Flour and Apple Flour. But if you&amp;#039;re not sold, consider this: Each of the flours retains much of the ingredients&amp;#039; original nutritional value because they are drum-dried at relatively low temperatures before being milled into flour. (Drum drying is a simple process: The pur\u00E9ed raw ingredients are spun in a large metal drum over low heat until they&amp;#039;ve released all of their moisture.) An important note on the nutritional value of these new flours \u2014 whole-wheat (and gluten-filled) flours are usually quite high in protein. According to Jaclyn London, MS, RD, CDN, the nutrition director for the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, there are 13 grams of protein per cup in a standard serving of whole-wheat flour, but only 4 grams per one cup of these fruit- and veggie-based flours. So, while these products could be amazingly helpful for anyone suffering from Celiac or gluten intolerance, if you&amp;#039;re not allergic to gluten, you may want to consider keeping some healthy whole grains or whole-wheat flour in your diet, too. They are no longer raising money, and they&amp;#039;re not available for sale yet. In the meantime, you can check out their Kickstarter video:  This story originally appeared on Delish.com.
