Finely Ground Brown Rice Flour

[Fiddle-Faddle]

I love Authentic Foods finely ground brown rice flour, but I just can't afford to spend $8+ plus shipping for a measly 3 pounds of flour! A friend and I were going to split an order from shopbydiet.com, but the shipping charges are so steep, it's ridiculous! I can't find it in the Asian grocery, either--they only have white rice flour and glutinous rice flour.

Anybody know where the best deals are?

Thanks!

I'm right there with you. I'm considering going with the less nutritous, but cheaper white rice flour. I just can't afford the Authentic Foods, but I LOVE it!

Oh, hi, Tanya, how are you? ADORABLE picture!

I already use half white rice flour in all the recipes that call for brown. I would like to use brown, though!

You may want to try a health food store. The one by me mainly carries vitamins, but they have a flour aisle. It has been the cheapest place I've found so far to buy brown rice flour. I'm in Michigan.

Alison,

Sorry, just got back to this thread. Busy weekend. Thanks about the picture. I thought it was cute.

I have found Rice Powder at my local Asian store. It's a great texture, just white rice. It's only 1.00 for 30 oz. That's the best deal I've found. Just no brown rice.

Hugs,

Tanya

I bought a coffee grinder (10-50) and grind medium grain brown rice. The bag cost $2, and I get 8 cups. Just don't try dry beans in the grinder unless you invest in a flour mill (200) becuse it blew my first coffee mill up.

Can you get it really fine with this? I don't drink coffee, so I'm clueless! Thanks!

I think so, it looks fine to me. I was not a baker before DH, so I might not be the best judge. I do use it for muffins and lorka's bread, and it taste great. Bed bath and Beyond told me if it didn't grind well enough I could take it back. Try it, you have nothing to lose.

Do you have an Indian (country, not native American) grocer? WE found A LOT of different flours. I can't remember seeing brown rice, but I was overwhelmed, there were like 40 types of flour there. I got the white rice flour - 4 lb bag - for $2.29 (I usually pay $2.99 for ONE lb at Whole Foods) and I spent $2.99 for a 3 lb bag of sorghum flour.
