Sweet Rice Flour - Brand Name?

[trying4faith]

Hi all,

Okay. I've finally worked up the nerve to start baking instead of buying mixes. I have searched off and on all week for a posting and cannot find it. A group of kind members had posted the types of flour combinations they use to bake breads, muffins, etc. I found lots of info except one vital tidbit.

What is the brand name of glutinous (sp?) or sweet rice flour folks use and know is gluten-free? I ask because I cannot get this flour at Whole Foods and wanted to try the Asian markets, but want to make sure it's not flour produced on the same line as wheat...

I'm also willing to order online at this point since I worked up the nerve two weeks ago but still haven't found the flour.

Thanks to all the knowledgeable out there. If I could send the hugs of gratitude I have for all your previous posts, patience, and help, I'd fill up your inboxes!

PS I read in a recipe book that sorghum (jowar) flour can be subbed for wheat flour w/o anything else - anyone try this (still need to find that flour too

Huh... I thought I've seen it at the whole foods around me. I usually use Ener-G's sweet rice flour which I can get at local health food stores, but I've also used Mochiko's sweet rice flour which can be found at many major chains in the Asian section. (Well, here in CA, but we've got a larger asian and latin food section than some of the other bits of the country I've been to... Whereabouts are you? It might help us identify a place you can find it.)

I use sorgum flour a fair amount, though I don't sub 100% with it.

Hi there, I am in Cary, NC. I even asked a friend who shops at Whole Foods to see if she could find it (just in case I'm missing it) and she didn't either

I'll try the asian markets this week. Thank you!

I just started some gluten free baking and bought some Organic Sweet Brown Rice in bulk at a local market. I ground it myself and added it to my mix consisting of regular Organic Brown Rice I had ground previously along with some tapioca flour, millet flower, and quinoa. I bought a grain grinder attachment for my Champion juicer and grind as much as I can myself. I saved 1.27 a pound on the regular Brown Rice flour that way. I just made a batch of Blueberry muffins and they came out great.

I have used both of those brands and been very happy with the results

The Koda Farms brand of mochiko (sweet rice or glutinous flour) is usually in Asian stores. It's a white box, 16 oz, with a blue star and the word "Mochiko" in red on the front. Product of USA.

Here's a link to the Koda Farms website: Open Original Shared Link

And they have recipes on their website too!

By the way, in case you didn't know, it is not interchangeable with regular rice flour. It doesn't behave the same way.

so glutinous and sweet rice flour are the same? I found an asian market nearby with some really inexpensive rice flours so that is great to know!
