Re: Re: SCD question: Almond flour

[Guest guest]

I don't know. I discovered both of my kids are allergic to almonds. I occasionally buy other nut flours from digestivewellness.com or cashew butter at the health food store. I use nut products sparingly in conjunction w/bean flours. If you join the pecanbread list serve @ pecanbread.com they can probably answer your questions.

Trader Joe's sells almond flour for 3.69 a pound-about 8 dollars a pound less than other retailers around our area. I vuy it and shp it to my friends back in NY who can't get it for a good price :)valmcin wrote: You can often buy ground nuts at the baking supply store.
