Make Your Own Rice Flour!

I've always been discouraged by the price of "specialty" food items, especially gluten free flours.

Well, laying in bed this morning I thought, "I wonder if I could make my own rice flour."

Hmmmm...

So, I got up and lo and behold,yes I can. And you can too! For a FRACTION of the price!!!

I just took some cheap brown rice, threw it into my coffee/spice grinder and ground it into a fine powder.

If you need/want it finer, just sift it through a sieve or cheesecloth.

Yay!!! No more expensive rice flour for me! :)

I love frugality. :D

I have done this, but I also found a 20 lb bag of rice flour in an Asian Food store for only 20 dollars. They have a lot of Rice products and are not too expensive.

Buying in Asian store, I worry about cross contamination. Packages I have read in there state possible wheat. I mill my own flour, and it really doesn't take all that much work.

What does it mean to mill your own flour? I have been looking for a way to make flour less expensive.

I have tried nuts and flax in the coffee grinder. I use little rice flour but I will try it. Thanks for letting us know it works. With almonds, I ran them through a nut chopper first. I don't have all the machines...just the basics- blender, crock pot, hand held mixer, nut/onion chopper, coffee grinder...so its nice to hear other ways work well. Thanks for posting!

I had not thought of the cross contamination. but I have not had any problem with the flour and have used it for a long time now. I don't bake enough, a 20 lb bag is lasting me forever.

Thanks for that input though. I do need to watch and be careful. I ate peanut butter one time that had wheat. And chicken broth in a can. I was so shocked. Now I read ALL labels.

The products are too extremely expensive on the shelves, like was mentioned. I wind up eating meat, rice, veggies and potatoes mainly and I don't worry much about breads anymore. Just don't eat cakes, cookies breads, etc. After a year, I don't miss them all so much anymore.

Milling would be grinding your own rice to make flour, like Tearzarose did with her coffee grinder. I had a coffee grinder, but the first time i did the rice, I put too much in and burned the motor out. I need to buy another and just be more careful with it. A simple 12 dollar one from a dept store works fine.

I have a huge grinder that screws on a shelf, but its so dang heavy, I never use it. I would love a good electric one. I watch Ebay, but I'm on fixed income so I don't really have money for something that is more than a coffee grinder.

You can also make your own oat flour this way.....provided of course they are gluten free or you can tolerate oats anyway :)

I went to the store last night and bought a coffee grinder and it worked awesome for making rice flour. I got to looking online and saw that kitchenaid makes an attachment mill for their mixers, and then found actual kitchen mills/grinders for wet and dry grains (so i could make soy flour too). Does anyone have experience with either of these? I was looking into the attachment for my mixer but was afraid it would be alot of wear and tear on my mixer, and I know nothing of brand names or what to look for in other types of products. Opinions????

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      yes i do take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.
