It is a little controversial in the celiac community, I think because they also bake gluten products there and some folks react to the trace amounts. But it could also be the millet ... it seems some folks react to millet (esp. little kids, from the sounds of it). Millet is supposed to be a " good " grain, and it seems low in phytates (or the phytates are easy to get rid of). I just haven't tried it myself. Brown rice doesn't set well with us unless it's been soaked etc ... also the commercial brown rice is said not to be gluten free (I don't know if this is a contamination issue or what, again, I just haven't researched it). I don't like the flavor of home-ground brown rice flour at all, it has the same off taste as whole wheat, but Tinkyada brown rice noodles taste just fine. I've recently started playing with potato flour, and we really like it. It can be pricey, and my DH suggested we just use a boiled potato. Which is how the Finns (? I think, or Swedes?) make Lefse. Mash a potato, add some flour (any kind) and an egg, fry it into bread. I haven't tried that, just the potato flour, but it seems to add a nice flavor and softness. I also like the fact it isn't from ANY grain ... and maybe sweet potatoes would work too, which are really full of nutrients. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I am new at baking gluten-free and buying gluten-free. And I no longer feel deprived as I love the taste of the things I have made and bought. So does my family. I have been using sorghum but would like to branch out to other flours. I will be watching this thread. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Sally Fallon in the NT book says millet is goitrogenic (causes problems for people with thyroid problems). That is the only negative I've heard on millet.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 There are three recipes for preparing millet in NT. I have tried the millet casserole. It was a pleasant change from rice. I think I would like the millet cakes with Parmesan cheese. The African recipe is quite involved, but would be fun to try. It has a very sour taste. Sally said to eat it with butter,cream and a natural sweetner. I wonder if the Africans do that?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Thanks, Sara! Didn't think of checking NT. Thought only vegetables were goitrogenic. Friend who gave me the millet rolls has had her thyroid checked recently as it was swollen. Will ask if it coincides with her buying millet baked goods. Have a swollen neck gland myself last two days on right after finishing the package. Most of my high school years it was swollen as I'd get tonsillitis every vacation. Like I'd wait to collapse, I guess. Too bad as millet is a suggested grain for my predominant vata dosha, IIRC. Not going to chance it. Didn't think l got reaction from their gluten grain business there too. This could be worse. Hit the coconut to counteract. Will find something more suitable or keep going without any as l have been.
