Maybe A Dumb Question About Rice Flour...

Does anyone here make their own flour? I googled "making rice flour" and found a bunch of different techniques. One called for washing it first, then drying it till just damp, then grinding it, then cooking the flour over low heat till completely dry. :blink:

Another just said to put the rice in a dry chopper and grind away.

As a total non-cook obviously if I do this I'm doing option #2! :lol:

Have you done this and is it the same as what I would buy? Which I don't want to do -- buy it, that is -- because I'm cheap and I hate shopping. <_<

Yes, but I don't *want* to go traipsing around trying to find an Asian market. Like I said in my original post, I hate shopping. When I go to my regular grocery store -- as infrequently as possible -- I can pick up a large bag of rice. If I could then come home and toss some of it in a grinder and get flour out of it that would be much preferable to driving somewhere through all our horrible traffic, parking, going in the store, finding the one thing I went there for, driving back home... <_<

I could be wrong, but if rice is like any other grain, you should just be able to grind it. The fineness of the flour will be determined by how well it's ground (I had a hand-grinder for our wheat that I had to grind coarse, then set the stones closer & grind fine). The amt of moisture in the grain could affect how well it grinds. You want it really dry.

I hate shopping too and am finding some of my high-use items at places like (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned). Our favorite hot cereal - Rice & Shine - is available in 4-packs with super saver shipping & by putting it on auto-order I saved another 15% bringing the price down to $3 a box (this is the cheapest Whole Foods ever sells it for on sale.)

If you don't relish the idea of grinding your rice, you could try Bob's Red Mill rice flour. I purchase this product and it's ground very fine.

You can order it 4 packages at a time for $16.98 and if you order $25 you get free shipping. If you use it a lot, you can put it on auto-order (1, 2, 3, 4 month intervals) and save another 15% and get free shipping every time on the discount price of $14.43 (no need to order $25 worth of Amazon items).

Ok so they blotted out the name of the store I was trying to help you out with. It's a big book store online that starts with an A and ends with N. There is a forest by the name.

I understand banning companies that Spam, but some companies make this difficult way of eating easier with their pricing & fast delivery.

Good luck

Thanks very much for than info - I suppose I can guess which big on-line store it is, that begins with an A and ends with an N. lol.. I guess I'll try grinding it myself once and see what happens, then if it doesn't work out I'll know where to order it.

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be...

      Dapsone, commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis (the itchy gluten-related skin condition), comes with several potential side effects that patients should monitor. The most frequent issues include blood-related problems like hemolytic anemia (especially in those with G6PD deficiency, which is more common in certain ethnic groups) and methemoglobinemia that can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, or bluish skin. Many patients also experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, or skin sensitivity to sunlight. While these effects are often manageable, there are rare but serious risks including dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (with fever, rash and organ inflammation), liver...
