Walnuts are pretty " oily. " It also has a slightly more bitter taste

than the other nuts. That's my only observation.

I have read that walnuts are the one nut that are better balanced in

omega 3's. The oil that most of us are defecient in. I first process

it untill it is like sticky walnut butter...and then I put in an extra

egg while processing it more! It often makes it smother and not as

crumbly...an added banana helps too. Experiment. I often stray from

the recipes! Then I add the rest of the ingrediants. Try this it

has helped us.

We use all the nut flours...sometime combining them with the fine

almond flour that Lucy's Kitchen sells. But are also learning that

Elaine suggested to limit the amount that we eat. I have learned that

too many baked goods make me sick! Thank you Carol...for that one!

I think it was moist...I purchased from digestive wellness a good

source of flours..;-)

flour, I have heard that some places sell nut flours that are

basically just the fibrous left overs after the oils have been pressed

out... and will therefore be very dry.

Usually, I have to be very careful not to end up with a gooey mass

that is more like walnut butter than flour. If I'm careful, I get a

very nice, finely ground meal.
