Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Anyone know of any good ones? Also looking for less mixed flours. For Instance, we now see that corn/potato flour is an issue here...the corn. I am toying with making my own flours but that is not always feasible and will give less variety so I have to figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Bob's Red Mill is probably your best bet. They have a large variety of single flours and also have a pretty good selection of organics as well. Betty Hagman's 4 bean flour is good and she also has another one but I can't remember the mix off hand. Stephanee > > Anyone know of any good ones? Also looking for less mixed flours.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Liz, Okay, I think Bob's Red Mill gf flour mix is horrible! LOL Sorry Stephanee. I really like Orgran, but it isn't organic; it just mixes well, and tastes, for the most part, like regular flour. I do know that Arrowhead Mills has a GF baking mix that is mostly organic (not all), however I haven't tried it yet.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Namaste makes a decent flour mix, as well as Betty Hagman's blends. She has 2 - one is made from 4 beans, the other alternative grains. I'm not personally fond of Arrowhead Mills, but, if that is all that I can find, that is what I use. Some of the pre-mixed flours use soy, so check label. You could just make your own mix based upon your wants/needs. It would probably be cheaper in the long run to mix your own. You'll have to experiment with textures - the Rice flours tend to be finer ground then some of the others. Quinoa (keen-wa)is a fine texture, as well as Buckwheat (but is is an odd brown/grey color). Amaranth and Sweet Sorghum tend to be a bit grainier. Adding Tapioca/Potato/Arrowroot Starch to the mix helps it blends better. I've never tried Teff. It is a dark red color and looked grainy in the package. Then of course, you have your bean flours. I would just stick to Betty Hagman's 4 bean mix myself if you go the bean route. My point of view on flours has been to use something different than what is most prominent in our diet. I tend to not use rice flours as a lot of our alternatives (cereal/milk/crackers, ect) are rice based. Just my opinion. Stephanee > > Liz, > > Okay, I think Bob's Red Mill gf flour mix is horrible!
