Bob's Red Mill Organic Quinoa Flour, 18 oz

Great quinoa flour, works great for gluten free baking, no need to toast it before using. Swanson has excellent sale prices.

I bake dog cookies with this, one of my dogs had a terrible problem with yeast overgrowth on his feet and stomach. The cookies I had been baking were feeding his unwanted yeasts so I read like crazy and found flours that didn't add to his problems and after prolonged topical treatments and careful choices with his foods and treats he is yeast free. This flour is easy to bake with and I mix it with coconut flour and garbanzo bean flour and other tasty things for their cookies.

I add just a small amount (about 1/4 cup in one loaf) to my ancient grains breads. This amount, when eaten regularly, feels about right.Too much and the bread does not rise and tastes, well, a little too healthy! My orders from Bob's have arrived securely packaged and as fast as they can get them shipped.

Very "nutty" in flavor so be aware you may need to use twice or thrice your normal extract or spices depending on how much you like it's natural aroma, but it's totally worth it. This flour made the best vegan waffles I've ever had and even though it's more expensive than other flour, I think it's worth it because I'm able to skip making vegan sausage to go with them! Low on bread or tortillas? Just add water make a savory flatbread like you would a pancake. This purchase has proven to be a very helpful investment for me.

Purchased for gluten free baking after I read a few blogs praising its high protein and nutrient value. I also saw some were "toasting" prior to adding to baked goods achieving a nuttier flavor. I tried it and it works great. Plan to make this a permanent part of my personally formulated gluten free flour blend.

I really like using this quinoa flour. I pretty much substitute it for other gluten free flours. Most gf blends, like Bob's 1:1 (an excellent flour) have rice flour and potato starch. I recently found out that both rich and potato cause inflammation like the night shade vegetables. I always tried to avoid those as I have osteo arthritis and tomatoes and eggplant make it worse. Now I found out that rice and potato also contribute to osteo arthritis pain. So I use quinoa flour whenever I can. It is a very healthy choice as it is much higher in protein than most gf flours.

Worked great in a GF bread recipe I had. I had to roast it first. I don't experiment, just follow others recipes. I was delighted that I didn't taste any quinoa in the bread. Getting the prepared flour is much better than trying to make my own. There's nothing I don't like about the flour.

Tried to use this in a recipe and learned I'm not a fan of the flavor of powered quinoa flour. Quality seems great and it did well in place of flour. To me, it tastes like dirt and I was unable to mask the flavor.

The quality of this flour is high. The flavor is strong, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. I probably won't buy again, but only because of personal taste, there is nothing wrong with the product. I made lemon cookies which had 1 cup of this and 1 cup of other GF flours, the zest of 2 lemons and 1/4 cup lemon juice and the quinoa flavor is still dominate.

No complains
