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????

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
