Where can I buy almond flour? The best health food store in my area doesn't carry it.
Thanks!

I put almonds in my food processor and turn them to dust -- well not actually dust, it's more like a meal texture.

I've never seen almond flour in our health food stores either.

I've been buying almond flour (along with pecan, walnut, macadamia, and cashew flours) at nuts4u.com for a long time and have been very happy. They even have a fine almond flour that is great for cakes and pies; I even made delicious marzipan with it.

I have also bought almond flour from truefoodsmarket.com and was pleased with their products as well.

Here is one place it can be ordered on the web.

What most people refer to as almond flour is actually ground almonds so most natural foods, bulk stores and grocery stores will carry it. It can be ground finer by giving it a little buzz in a coffee grinder.

Are all carbs equally 'bad' (for lack of a better word ) ? I know that white flour, sugar, processed foods, etc are all no-no's. But.... what about the carbs that come from vegetables, fruit, and dairy ?

All carbs are not created equal.

Here are two links to previous, enlightening discussions:

Any Carbs? Any time?

What's wrong with grains? Besides the obvious...

Hold on a sec Viv! It's easier to buy the ground almonds. If you grind them whole, you have to watch out for turning them into almond butter and it's hard to get whole almonds fine enough.

Bulk and natural food stores should carry them.
