Has anyone milled their own quinoa flour? If so, what do you do about the rinsing issue? Thanks for your help!

HiDee - Sorry, don't have an answer, but I thought I would throw another question out (and maybe you have the answer).

How fine of a grind can you get at home? Authentic Foods Fine ground brown rice is outrageously priced. Can you get as fine of a grind at home and if so, what kind of grinder?

To be honest, I haven't ever bought brown rice flour. I've only ever ground it at home so I can't say how it compares to Authentic Foods. I think the fineness I get milling brown or white rice or other grains at home is comparable to flours I've bought like sorghum flour or millet flour. I have a Nutrimill, I think it's awesome but a little pricey. I have a friend who has a K-Tec that does pretty equally as well of a fine grind, it's just a whole lot louder than my machine but cheaper. Although, having used both of our mills, brown rice takes a little longer to grind in the Nutrimill than the K-Tec. We don't have any good large health food stores or Asian markets or things like that nearby that sell gluten free flour so I think grinding it myself is a little cheaper. I do still buy all the starches and stuff like that to mix with the flour. I don't know if this helps but good luck!

I have not, but I would hazard a guess that maybe you could rinse it and then toast it, and then grind it?

I have a vita mix 5000 and it came with a grinding container. Friday I tried brown rice and it turned out ok but I am going to sift it to make sure there are no large parts left over. I think it will work fine for the most part.

I was planning on making as many of my own gluten-free flours but saw that about the quinoa also. I was going to do some more research and find out if I could do it at home or not.

      Gluten Free Oats

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73!  About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten free products. But I understand that you are frustrated in the sense of many of the gluten-free products that you would like to consume contain oats. There are many in the celiac/gluten sensitive community who feel the same way about dairy and soy which are also common ingredients in gluten-free products.

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By Mushroom73 · Posted

      Hi,  I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good.  Really hope this helps.

      Gluten Free Oats

      I do not understand why manufacturers think everyone that actually has Celiac can tolerate oats. They don't understand that not all of us can. they think it is fantastic and start putting this in all their products making them unusable for me.  So frustrating!!

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?
