Summary
This pancake mix contains a blend of gluten-free flours, including brown rice and sorghum flour, which are minimally processed and provide beneficial nutrients. However, the presence of refined cane sugar and multiple starches contributes to a higher level of processing and reduces the overall nutritional quality. The inclusion of xanthan gum as an additive also indicates moderate processing, which impacts the healthiness of the product.
