Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 www.digestivewellness.com has a variety of nut flours... I think ranging from $2-$10 per pound. Agape, Dora wrote: I am new to SCD.

In Canadian dollars, Pecans are from $11-$16 a pound, almonds $6.99 all the way up to $9.00. > Carol F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 The last blanched almond flour cost me $174.44 for 25 lbs. I think I will go to Trader Joes and see if there is any there.... carolfrilegh wrote: > > www.digestivewellness.com has a variety of nut flours...

I found they are only harvested once a year and treated with nitrogen and some other chemical. I don't know what the story is with their almonds but I have found another local source that has long been known for decent prices and good quality and had no adverse reaction. Whole Foods had wholesome nuts but the prices are riidiculous. I did not tolerate almond flour I ordered from a local SCD-er but do fine with the one from my other source. The stuff goes rancid if it is not refrigerated or frozen promptly. Carol F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 > > Hi. I'm new here. I'm interested in SCD. I've ordered some almond flour. Hello there, April, It's a cinch to make your own pecan flour as you don't have to blanch or remove skins. My Midas Gold Pecan Waffles and the basic muffin recipe in BTVC are absolutely outstanding with pecan flour ground in the Cuisinart. I find pecan flour easier to digest but if you are ambitious, blanch the almonds to remove the skins and just process it with the metal blade. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Just wondering where everyone stores their almond flour? Do you refrigerate it? Also, the recipes with peanut butter...can almond butter be used as a substitute? Lastly, do you find yourself eating a lot of cheese. I'm craving it and it adds to much to my meals. Thanks, Ronnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi!Has anyone tried vacuum sealing the almond flour in 1/2 gallon mason jars?Does it help the flour to last longer? Do you still need to refridge/freeze it?Thanks.Regards .... Pat Queensbury NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I vacuum seal my flour with a FoodSaver in plastic bags, and throw them in the freezer. It keeps them nice and fresh!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Almond flour is pretty advanced. I've been on the diet 2 years and only enjoy nut flours/butters occasionally. 2 1/2 weeks might be a bit early to start.
