I opened it right away (it came in a sealed box and the flour was in one open plastic bag. As, usual I brought out my small ziplock bags to package it up for my deep freezer. Immediately I noticed that the texture of this almond flour was very gritty and with my experience knew that this flour was mot going to be as palatable as I like (or my husband likes-he's the one on the SCD diet) and, it doesn't rise as well.</p> <p>I e-mailed Hughson Nut and got no response. So I called them. To make a long story short, they will NOT let you return their nut flour. They said since I opened the box, the flour it now considered contaminated and they would have to throw it away. So now I'm stuck with $130.00 of gritty nut flour.</p> <p>I have been buying almond flour since 2002-first with Platinum Nut, then Honeyville. The Honeyville texture was great the first time I ordered from them (25lb), the second time (25 lb) it was very coarse. Although they sent me a 5lb bag for my trouble, (the quality was much better) I did not get satisfactory answer from them about the texture quality when ordering a 25 lb. (I think the second time they sent me a box from Hughson Nut-looking back it was packaged the same way)</p> <p>Hughson Nut charges more than Honeyville for 25 lbs. I thought the quality would be better-what a fool I was! This stuff is not cheap and there is such a demand now it seems that Hughson Nut doesn't care or need to have repeat business. Customer service seems to be nonexistent for the home almond flour baker.</p> <p>Has anyone tried JustAlmonds.com? I called them for a sample (just a tablespoon in an envelope please?), but I haven't heard back.</p> <p>So, buyer beware I guess and definitely don't buy from Hughson. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/sandwich-bread-in-cookbook#post-985 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:48:00 +0000 lbanura 985@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Has anyone tried to make the Sandwish Bread in Elana's cookbook? It has mostly almond butter in it and it seems that it would turn out really heavy and gooey. If someone has tried it can you let me know how it turned out?

Butter 8x8 glass baking dish. Bake 350 for 25 - 30 minutes. Be careful not to burn your fingers or your mouth when eating the first hot one out of the oven. Try not to eat more that 4 per day. If you plan to share these, you might want to double the recipe and use a 9 x 13 baking dish. They are a great source of healthy fat and protein, and contain no starch. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/bulk-almond-butter#post-561 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 08:37:06 +0000 bonnie0128 561@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Does anyone know of a good resource for almond butter - maybe even in bulk? It is so expensive at the stores around me. I've made my own in the past but was never very excited about the results. So many of Elana's recipes that I want to try call for "creamy roasted almond butter" - but I can't afford $20 brownies!!! (Ok, that may be a bit of an stretch - but the stuff IS expensive :D)</p> <p>I know it's not the same, but wouldn't it be nice if we could come up with a substitute - like almond flour plus oil/butter etc!? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/almond-butter#post-281 Fri, 29 May 2009 07:45:55 +0000 pumpkin080 281@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>how can someone make almond butter? and how long will it keep? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/inexpensive-almond-butter-in-london#post-66 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:49:48 +0000 LaniHalliday 66@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Does anyone know where I can get (relatively) inexpensive Organic Almond Butter in London? Everywhere I look it seems to be upwards of 2.50 GBP for 170 gram (less than 6 ounces) and I'd like to find is cheaper. I'm from the US and totally took for granted how easy it is to get a wide variety of nut butters inexpensively and virtually everywhere. Since I've relocated, I've started to make my own, but for convenience sake, I'd like to be able to purchase it as well. Can anyone direct me to a retailer or an online retailer? </p>
