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????

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment. Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore...

      Quick update.  I saw the title of this thread and forgot that I'd actually started it!  Oh dear! It seems my new healthy diet was the cause of these symptoms,  I had a clear colonoscopy, thankfully. Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good, I certainly lost some pounds around the waistline (pity they piled back on again at Christmas!)

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years by books like Dangerous Grains which make the case on logic rather than actual real world data. Like many biological phenomenon, what would seem to be logical doesn't pan out to be true in the real world.  But if you are one of those in the minority of celiacs who cannot tolerate cereal grains at all, I'm glad that you were able to sort that out.
