I like Ener-g brand.

They make potato starch flour, tapioca flour, and rice flour.

The bean flour, I can't help you with--I don't use it (legume intolerant)

Lister, I make my own bread out of the same things. You can buy all of them in bulk at lifesource, I know were around the samish area, do you guys have one down there? If not I would check some of your health food stores for a bulk area, its cheaper to buy that way.

I prefer the flours at www.kinnikinnick.com. They're relatively inexpensive and the shipping is set at $10 flat rate. Plus, I don't think there's any chance for cc with them.

i use Ener-g, Bob's and Nu-World Amaranth.

i do NOT recommend bulk flours. the same scoops/carelessness + flour in the air will definitely result in cross-contamination. i have seen employees using the same cloth to wipe each one.

it's not worth the risk to save a few bucks.

I agree with the cc risk of buying in bulk just anywhere. This particular store I recommended lister to is a very allergy friendly store, as far as I have seen the bulk area is extremely clean, scoops slide into the plastic bins they aren't just hanging on the side. Still the risk is always there, yes. On another note the employees there are very knowledgeable of their gluten free products. I had an employee print me out 7 pages of gluten free items in the store, I thought that was very helpful.
