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

[DianeByrd]

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.
