Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ya, another question! Before the intro diet I have been baking some of the almond breads and cookies without the honey (My 10 y/o has huge yeast issues)So as suggested, I have been using saccharin. Anyway, we have been using Bob's almond meal/flour from Whole Foods. Are there any " lighter " almond flours? Or are they all pretty much the same? I was thinking of ordering from Lucy's Kitchen almond flour, but is there really a difference? If there is a difference, I will pay for it, but I don't want to pay for it if the difference is negligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 There is a huge difference!! The almond flour from Lucy's kitchen and digestive wellness if very fine. Not as fine a wheat flour but is soakes up the liquid ingedents and the end product is closer to " regular " muffins, cookies, etc. I would suggest the finer flours for baking and maybe save the Bob's meal for frying, meal loaf or for hot cereal. Hope this helps!! mother ofCaden 2 11/12 years SCD since 2/05 and Emmalynn 15 months mostly SCD > > > > Ya, another question! > > Before the intro diet I have been baking some of the almond breads and > cookies without the honey (My 10 y/o has huge yeast issues)So as > suggested, I have been using saccharin. > > Anyway, we have been using Bob's almond meal/flour from Whole Foods. > Are there any " lighter " almond flours?

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 There is a HUGE difference between Bobs Almond flour and Lucy's kitchen shop. Bobs is pretty gitty. Lucys is super fine. Digestive Wellness is similar to Lucy's. In my area, Bobs almond flour is ~$12 a pound while Lucys and DW are ~$6 a pound Kerri -SCD 2 months for 7 year old w/constipation and rages Oh, and another question/sorry/newbie Bob's Almond flour? > > > Ya, another question! > > Before the intro diet I have been baking some of the almond breads and > cookies without the honey (My 10 y/o has huge yeast issues)So as > suggested, I have been using saccharin. > > Anyway, we have been using Bob's almond meal/flour from Whole Foods. > Are there any " lighter " almond flours?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Carol. we are north of TO, where do you get the J.Gourmet and do you think it's good for almond milk vs. Bob's? Bob's I can get at my local grovery for 9.99 (Sobeys). does not eat baked goods so I don't need the flour.

Bob's is $15.00 at the super market and of poor quality. J. Gourmet ships. (I have no $$ interest in J. Gourmet) I happen to prefer pecan flour and make my own in a Cusisinart. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I think the milk made from blanched almonds would taste a lot better. I think the skins make it taste bitter. If you can get the blanched almond flour, I think it would make nicer almond milk. You can also make the nut yogurt with it.
