Product Description |
|
Honeyville's Blanched Almond Flour, or Blanched Almond Meal, is a great way to cook with limited carbohydrate intake. With a fraction of the carbs of wheat flour, almond flour provides a hearty flavor and consistency without adding all of those empty calories. Chock full of protein and dietary fiber, almond flour works well in a wide array of recipes. Made from blanched almonds, pressed into fine particles, our almond flour adds color, texture, richness, flavor, body, and binds ingredients in baking applications. |

NO cross contamination possible - safe for GF diets!! |
I just got my order so I'm not here to comment on how the product behaves for my particular baking needs, but I can say that before I ordered the product I called the company with concerns about the possibility of cross-contamination of their nut flours.
I was diagnosed with celiac disease, only after significant damage nearly killed me. Even after years of healing on a GF Diet, my digestive tract is severely damaged. I have to be ever vigilant about my product choices.
All food reactions should be carefully examined, but they should not be immediately or unduly blamed on gluten contamination. I don't work for nor do I currently receive any form of consideration from this company. This endorsement is strictly so others can make an informed decision!
Their number is (888)-810-3212. I recommend you call since manufacturing practices are subject to change, even though it seemed that this company is committed to providing a safe product for celiacs and others on a GF diet.
I asked if I could quote them and got their permission to write:
" Nut flours are processed in a separate facility which ONLY processes nut flours. Therefore, there's NO possibility of cross-contamination during manufacturing from gluten."
I am very comfortable using and recommending this product from a Gluten free point of view. I shall update the review here and on my blog as I use their flours in recipe formulation.

I've used this flour extensively for recipes over at elanaspantry.com.

overpriced |

why pay $36 here when you can get the same thing directly at the Honeyville site for $28? |

great deal, good flavor, but BEWARE CELIACS! |

I purchased this flour a few weeks ago and just baked with it the first time yesterday. I was very satisfied with the taste and texture of it. However, I cannot tolerate gluten or rice and after eating some of what I had baked, I had an allergic reaction. I called the company and they could not tell me anything in regards to their mills nor if there could be any cross-contamination. The lady on the phone seemed to think that the mills are shared equipment and that no precautions are taken to avoid cross-contamination. If you're buying it for low-carb prep only, it should be a good flour at a great deal. Please beware if you are using it to avoid gluten or other allergenic grains! |

Great for low carb diets |

Almond flour is an excellent way to make your favorite carb-loaded products much healthier. And the 5-pound bag is much more convenient and far cheaper than buying 1-pound bags at the grocery store. |
