Where To Find Or Order Bulk gluten-free Flour In Usa


whitepine

Recommended Posts

So in Canada we have a store called bulk barn and it's amazing for gluten-free flours. It's really cheap too. I'm moving to the USA soon and I've visited there many times but I haven't found any store yet that actually has bulk gluten-free flours to sell. Does anyone know of a store that I can order from or somewhere that sells bulk flour?
Thanks!
I doubt I can bring over any over the border, that's probably a big no no?

I just buy mine from my local health food store. They sell the flours in bulk bins, but I don't feel comfortable buying out of the bulk bins since they're all back in the same area with a bunch of wheat and such. So instead I just ask them to order me an entire container, bag, box, however it comes. The benefit of this is that I get a 10% discount on the per pound price. :) I just buy the large 5 gallon buckets used for food storage keep any large amounts of starches and easily storable flours in. Anything that needs to be kept frozen I simply buy in smaller amounts. I can buy a case of bags and still the the 10% discount on them if it is something I use a lot of and I won't have to try to find a way to keep 20 or 25 pounds of a bunch of kinds of flour in my freezer. I would research the area you are moving to and just find a local store or health food store that sells flours and ask if they do the same sort of thing.

I order in bulk from a mazon . com, honeyville (almond flour) and nuts.com

 

I would not trust any bulk bin products at all. (unless you do it the way Adalaide has suggested)

We use Amazon's Subscribe and Save service for flours along with teas, pasta, cereals, cooking oils, agave, supplements, baby food sqeeze packettes i use for safe travel snacks, misc baking mixes and more. Added bonus...I don't have to lug them home :)

My almonds come from nuts.com thanks to Irish's helpful hints.....I'd gotten burned twice on nuts from other suppliers...after I had done my due dilegence.

What's nice about bulk barn is that they keep all of their gluten-free flours separate from their regular flours and they sell tons of gluten-free items there too. So they are aware of the seriousness of contamination to celiacs. I haven't ever had any problems with their flours and I use them on a regular basis when I am at home. I'll have to check out amazon.com. I use a lot of Sorghum, brown and white rice flour. Never used almond flour before? Are there any books you would suggest for baking with almond flour?
I'll be moving to Phoenix so there might be some good options here but I am not sure.
Thank you for the suggestions! I'll start ordering stuff instead of buying it at the grocery store once we get a real address here :)

Uhhmmm I don't know why it said that the company spammed the form. I just said almond . lol

IrishHeart Veteran

oh, that's because A mazon...you can't say it with the name plus  dot.com because they spammed the forum and they are banned. :)

 

Many professional G F chefs use almond flour or coconut flour.

This blogger gives an excellent intro to cooking with almond flour

Meant to add...

I also use Amazon Prime, like Ski does. No hassle, 2-day shipping,  Fred, the UPS guy and I are on a first-name basis,

plus it's free shipping and worth the $79 for yearly subscription. Buying multi-packs saves me a lot of money.

I get certified oats, flaxseed meal, flours, baking supplies, Country Life G F vitamins etc. from them.

Just a suggestion.

Are there any books you would suggest for baking with almond flour?

 

 

Lots of Paleo eaters use almond flour for baking, so if you Google, say, "banana bread paleo", you will find lots of recipes using almond flour and coconut flour, which are the only kinds of flour commonly used by Paleo eaters. Caution: never try to substitute almond or coconut flour for regular flour one-to-one in a recipe! The recipe needs to be adjusted, because almond flour and coconut flour work very differently wheat flour (and from each other, for that matter).

I use Vitacost online.  Best prices I've seen, and their customer service is really good.

I've used Vitacost for a little less $ to buy my fave Better Batter flour and I used A. Prime for 25 lb. sacks of Pamela's bread mix. I've not gotten it in a good while because my local groceries started carrying Udi's. But I think I'm going to go back to Pam's for sandwich bread. I really liked it. Plus, I always had leftover stale bread for bread crumbs and even grated the bread and toasted it for gluten-free Panko!

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It is gluten and dairy free also.

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
