Pinto Bean Flour


Sharon

Recommended Posts

Sharon Newbie

Was given some pinto bean flour but haven't seen any recipes on using it. Has anyone out there tried it? If so, all by itself or combined with other gluten free flours? Please HELP as I'm not very good when it comes to experimenting! Sharon

I never used it myself. I don't really care for the taste of bean flours, but I would mix it with other flours. Mix it with a starch at minimum.

I looked online for bean flour recipes.... and the only thing it is used for is to thicken soups or make bean dips. It also can be added to baked goods to add protien.

i also looked it up and found it only in baked beans and refried beans...

if you want to bake with it my advice is to try a very small amount (a fourth or less of your flour mix would be the bean flour) so that you dont overwhelm the other flavors in your baked goods. bean flours are known for very strong taste/smell. my first time to make a bread with garfava flour i thought the flour was bad because of the smell. i was afraid to eat it :P so start off with small amounts to see if it is a taste you enjoy or (can tolerate at all) hehe

good luck

bean flours are usually garbanzo beans and I don't particularly care for the side effects...

Thank you for your replies. Going to try adding one cup pinto bean flour to my regular flour mixture of 5 c wht rice flour, 2-1/2 c potato flour and 1-1/2 c tapioca flour. Hope it works OK!

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
