Where To Buy Qunoa Flakes, Red Quinoa, And Quinoa Flour On A Budget?

I found a great recipe for quinoa flakes Open Original Shared Link My kids love it.

Now the problem is buying the flakes at a decent price. Does anyone have any suggestions for one online store that is generally least expensive? I though I had found a bargain price, but then the shipping still made it about $7 per 12 oz box of Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes.

I can't even imagine spending over $10 a pkg for the flour, even though I know it is very nutritious.

Also, I'd be grateful for any other advice about using the flakes or flour, if I ever do get around to spending that much money. What proportion quinoa flour is mixed with other flours, or is it used straight? I'm guessing that we'd be better off to reduce how much tapioca, rice, and cornstarch we bake with. I figure that we're doing better when we use the Four Flour Bean flour mix recipe from Bette Hagman.

Thanks,

Diane

Ancient Harvest sells quinoa in bulk for far less than those boxes. Even after shipping it was around a third as much, I think. You can grind your own flour easily in a coffee grinder.

Thanks for the recommendation.

      Glutened from hair conditioner- check your body products and makeup !

      By slkrav · Posted

      I was feeling really sick last week, for several days I kept thinking I was getting cross contamination. Typical symptoms like not sleeping well at night and waking up with widespread inflammation in all of my joints, foggy head and of course bowel issues. I had read the article recently that was talking about body products. I was starting to get depressed. I was showering and decided to read the ingredients in the products I've been using. It turns out that two of the ingredients in my conditioning hair mask contain GLUTEN. I felt really stupid for not checking before and I threw that away and also checked the ingredients of everything else I've been using. I've heard of skin issues from gluten containing body products, but this opens up a whole new way if being proactive.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I haven't taken blood test for deficiencies yet since self diagnosed but I started a Multi vitamin from reading consumerlabs Nature Made Multivitamin For Her 50+ with No Iron, Womens Multivitamin for Daily Nutritional Support, Multivitamin is actually good for men compared to the mens version since im 47 I figured this should be ok. I also just started taking Kirkland Signature Super B-Complex with Electrolytes which consumerlabs which is an independent lab that tests what is actually in it states this is a good balanced B complex vitamin where its not too much of any vitamin for you to take.  I was thinking of taking the Gluten test after the summer  ut I think if I reintroduce gluten for this test I will be so sick and make things worse. I heard there is a blood test coming in a year that they add gluten to the blood to test which would be nice but prob in a year or 2.

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I have been on this gluten-free journey a few months now and I work in a deli so I'm around gluten all day. I noticed sometimes once a day my eyes tear as if I am peeling onions. I think it is an allergy to gluten. Anything to take for this issue? I heard it might be low vitamin so I started to take a multi vitamin that I found from consumerlabs and started a vitamin B complex for energy issue. As I continue my journey 2x this month I have been careful with gluten and ate out 2x that wee gluten friendly and had no issues so now I feel better when I go out the few places I can eat gluten-free and not get sick. However I have been trying to track what triggered me the 2x this month where one time I introduced a gluten-free pretzel PB filled and no other ingredient in it bothered me. The other time I think it might have been due to high fiber intake due to introducing mission gluten-free tortilla wraps. Next week I will be on vacation to LBI and I already scoped out 2 places gluten-free so I am hoping I have a good time with the family. In August we plan on going to Aruba and I found a few gluten-free places as well but I am nervous for any cross contamination especially during flights to and from which makes me nervous. ANy help suggestions. Thanks

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The pharmaceutical industry (including BIG PHARMA! 😉) is very good about cleaning procedures before different drugs might be made using the same machinery. I don't believe cross contamination would be something to worry about, otherwise people with serious allergies, for example to antibiotics, would have serious issues with prescriptions drugs.

      Thanks for sharing that site! Do you know if that site has any information about manufacturing/possible cross contact on it? I can't find it. When I have called manufacturers, most of them say they can't guarantee no cross contact in manufacturing (except Lannett, Mylan and possible Amneal, which aren't available near me).
