The Benefits of Baking

This time of year is full of warm spices and comforting baked treats. But those holiday favorites aren’t just feel-good to eat. As it turns out, there are several proven emotional and psychological benefits to cooking and baking. 

Why We Always Feature Fiber in Our Mixes

You probably know that fiber is essential for your health, but did you know that our bodies don’t actually digest this nutrient? Humans lack the enzymes needed to break down fiber. So how does it play a role in our nutrition, and why is it so beneficial for our health? 

Why We Love Allulose

There’s a wide world of sweeteners out there, and it can be hard to know which one to use if you’re trying to stay healthy and manage your weight. We know that table sugar and sugar alcohols can have negative effects, but many artificial sweeteners come with their own downsides and health risks. At Scotty’s, we’re all about allulose as a healthy sugar alternative to sweeten the mix. 

Why Scotty's Products Are Gluten-Free

Gluten seems to be everywhere—not just in flour-based products but also hidden in packaged goods from soups to soy sauce. For many, it’s an inflammatory ingredient that can cause digestive issues, internal damage, or general discomfort. But even if you don’t need to be on a strict gluten-free diet, there are benefits to being conscious of how much gluten you consume.

You might have heard the ingredient touted on TikTok or seen it in health stores listed as a digestive aid or blood sugar balancer. But what is psyllium husk powder and why is it all the rage lately? We’ve used psyllium fiber as a star ingredient in Scotty’s mixes for years, so let’s dive into the science behind this plant-based, keto-friendly ingredient.

Resistant Tapioca Starch and the Keto Diet

Starch—good for you?? Really? Isn’t starch supposed to raise your blood sugar, and isn’t tapioca starch a carbohydrate that keto eaters should strictly avoid?Actually, no. Not all starches are created equal, and a type called resistant starch has been shown to be powerfully beneficial for your health, even if you’re keto. We’re here to break down why resistant starch belongs in a keto diet, and more specifically, what resistant tapioca starch is doing in our keto bread mix. Spoiler: it’s not the tapioca starch you think you know.
