Re: Walnut flour?

[Guest guest]

We try to rotate our nut meals and flours since we are healing out of

many sensitivites, thanks to a injured gut.

The walnut flour is wonderful, but from my own experience when I

process it in the food processor it turns into walnut butter and

become clumped and thick. After I do this I messure the amount I need

then throw it back into the processor for a second spin with an egg or

two depending on what the recipie called for. This seems to break it

down more into something easier to digest and makes it smoother.

Then throw it in the kitch aid and mix the rest with the rest of the

ingredients. I have not made bread from walnuts, I personaly do no

think it would turn out well. But Walnuts do make wonderful nutty

flavored cakes and cupcakes. Also good substitue with the peanut

butter cookies, that usualy call for almond flour.

Hope this helps, Antoinette

I've used walnut flour... It has a stronger, less appealing taste than hazelnut

or brazilnut, which I think are the best....

I think you should buy a small amount of each of the flours, bake muffins and

see what you like... www.digestivewellness.com has a variety of meals and finely

ground nut flours.

Walnut could be mixed with another flour, ... you might want to rotate it.

Peacan is also strong,... but not as strong as walnut.

Walnut and pecan have a nice dark color which looks rich and 'chocolaty "

I used walnut flour in a recipe and it turned out fine, better than I thought

that it would. (but

then I had really low expectations for it!). You could buy a package of walnuts

at the grocery

store, grind them in your food processor, and do a test batch of muffins with

the flour before

buying a larger amount.

Walnuts aren't as sweet as pecans (i.e., that is why there are pecan pies but

not walnut pies).
