Looking For The Cheapest Source For Specialty Flours


Mary B

Recommended Posts

Mary B Newbie

I was recently diagnosed with celiac and am looking for a cheap source for specialty flours to make my own flour mixes. Does anyone know of any place online where I can order these flours? I did find a bulk foods warehouse that had a few of them, but not all. Overall the prices are high and shipping is worse.

Well, shipping is one of those things that seems impossible to avoid, and of course ordering a lot of flour means the box will be heavy. That said, my favorite place for flours and other goodies is Open Original Shared Link.

They do charge more for shipping than what I think they could, but then again I don't know their overhead costs.

I buy 25 lb bags of the flours I use often from Bob's Red Mill.

Hi Mary,

I'm fairly new to gluten-free too--and was turned on to Asian markets. OMG, you'll find all the rice flours, potato starch, potato flour, bean flours (lentil, eg), all for a fraction of what you'll pay anywhere else. I hope your town has an Asian population sufficient to support such a market--try it, you won't be sorry!

I buy all my flours in bulk from my health food store :)

      Initially I was going to re-post all of the threads that have people stating they drink or recommend RO water.  There are just too many to post, so I'll recommend using the search feature here to find them all.  There are currently 4 pages worth of posts with people mentioning or recommending RO water/filtration systems.  Granted, some of the search results are from this thread. For me, it causes major issues with my stomach and as mentioned, there is no way I will ever intentionally drink it again.  As we know, everyone's body is different.  I am certainly not looking for a debate, but do highly advise anyone considering RO water to do their own research. Consider starting with this Google search:  Is reverse osmosis water safe to drink long term?

      I could not agree with you both more.  I still haven't bumped into my neighbor's mom to explain, but I am certain she will understand.  I am in play it safe and error on the side of caution mode right now.  I see no point in taking any unnecessary risk. Thank you both for your time and thoughts.

      Brilliant news for British Coeliacs!   Colin was launched in 1990 so I am fortunate in that I was able to try this amazing chocolate swissroll cake before my diagnosis.  But the good news is he has now appeared in the Gluten Free aisle at M&S, and also is available home delivery through Ocado. https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/made-without-wheat-gluten-free-colin-the-caterpillar/p/fdp60761680

      Re: Michelin star.  To give an example, the Ritz Hotel in London has two Michelin stars.   Here's another article about Michelin stars - from our own archive.

      Very helpful @knitty kitty.  Thank you.  I am trying to remember what vitamin so alarmed my GP and I have a feeling it was A or E.  I remember reading the pills contained well over the 100 per cent RDA of whatever the vitamin was. One thing I'd love to ask you that has always intrigued me.  One day when my anxiety was completely through the roof.  I 'felt the fear and did it anyway' - a phrase other anxiety sufferers may be aware of, which I found a powerful tool in my recovery -  and visited a friend's house, even though I felt so wretched.  For some reason I craved milk and drank two whole pints of milk in quick succession while I was with her - to this day I can't think why, because I don't usually drink milk 'neat' - I like it in tea or coffee, or hot chocolate.  But I distinctly remember within a couple of hours feeling absolutely fine again for quite a while.  I've often wondered was it down to this milk, which I've since understood contains quite decent levels of B12.  Would that have really worked so fast?
