With Elana's encouragement, and the help of this forum (this is GREAT!), I'd like to ask others who use almond flour, if you have been able to locate a source of almond flour that is made from fumigated almonds? I contacted Honeyville Grains, where I've been ordering, and they sent me an email stating that the almonds they use have been POP treated. </p> <p>Lucy from Lucy's Kitchen believes her source of almond flour only steam treats their almonds. Unfortunately, because of the distance in shipping, it would cost me over $50 more for this flour compared to Honeyville Grain. </p> <p>I go through flour quickly with 4 children. I'd love any ideas or suggestions. I'm new to the celiac world, what have you all learned about this issue?</p> <p>Many Thanks,<br /> Betty </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/marcona-almonds-not-gluten-free#post-2043 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 19:59:12 +0000 Lecia 2043@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Some of the recipes include Marcona almonds at the listed link (www.nutsonline) however when I contacted the supplier to buy them I was told me that the Marcona almonds are not gluten free.

I was also wondering if the texture is different or how it tastes in baked goods? I was thinking I might use this instead of 25 different gluten-free flours!!! Also, does this and coconut flour make good bread? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/soaked-almond-fours#post-1858 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:00:45 +0000 thomkat 1858@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi there,<br /> Nuts, as well as grains, seeds, and some legumes have Phytic Acid. Consuming a lot of PA can cause helath problems. It is recommended that nut, grains, and legumes be soaked over night and then dehydrated at low temps and then ground into flour.</p> <p>See this link for more info: <a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/food-features/1893-living-with-phytic-acid.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.westonaprice.org/food-features/1893-living-with-phytic-acid.html</a></p> <p>Here's to your health!<br /> Kathy </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/grinding-blanched-almonds#post-1578 Tue, 11 May 2010 14:28:47 +0000 ewill02 1578@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Does anyone make their own almond flour in the food processor? I have looked into buying the product, but it is a lot cheaper to make it myself.

I'm using nut mixes as the majority of my snack food, and was looking at the smoked paprika almonds as a healthy snack to eat during the day. Does anyone know the shelf life of the almonds if stored in a container? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/julia-childs-cake-with-chocolate-frosting-and-almonds-how-to-make-healthy#post-940 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:33:46 +0000 rasphoto.contact 940@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>How could you NOT resist that cake scene in the movie?!

I don't know what I do wrong. I always end up with something that tastes like crunchy nuts with egg or something in between. Is that supposed to happen? Like the orange almond cookies on this site, it didn't even turn to cookie dough, it was just goo. (Even after several hours of refrigeration. And I just tried the rye bread but it tasted like flax with almonds in it! I do try to make my own to save money and I make sure they are pretty fine but maybe they're not fine enough? I'm getting pretty frustrated and discouraged with it! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/why-not-rice-flour#post-280 Wed, 27 May 2009 21:01:31 +0000 Myburntwings 280@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hey ya, I just recently found out I have Celiac disease. My nutritionist told be to use rice flour because it is within my price range as a student. Why is it everything on here is made with almond or coconut flour? What about rice or potato flours for those who cannot afford such expensive flours? Can these recipes be converted to use Rice flour? You have a really lovely site. Your recipes are amazing to look at. I would love to be able to make them. </p> <p>Shiloh </p>
