I am gluten, dairy, white potato, and sugar-free. I've never met any others who stay away from the same things as I do.</p> <p>I have a question about blanched almond flour. Has anybody ever used Nutsforu brand? <a href="https://www.nuts4u.com/asp/s-products.asp?NType=57&#038;Category=8" rel="nofollow">https://www.nuts4u.com/asp/s-products.asp?NType=57&#038;Category=8</a></p> <p>On the Honeyville page of Amazon.com was this comment about the Honeyville product: "I purchased this flour a few weeks ago and just baked with it the first time yesterday. I was very satisfied with the taste and texture of it. However, I cannot tolerate gluten or rice and after eating some of what I had baked, I had an allergic reaction. I called the company and they could not tell me anything in regards to their mills nor if there could be any cross-contamination. The lady on the phone seemed to think that the mills are shared equipment and that no precautions are taken to avoid cross-contamination. If you're buying it for low-carb prep only, it should be a good flour at a great deal. Please beware if you are using it to avoid gluten or other allergenic grains!"</p> <p>I'm interested in others' experiences with different brands as I don't want to buy a 5 lb. bag and not be able to use it. </p>
