Umpa, that's what I have been using. I got mine from Nuts On Line $6.99/lb - it comes in one pound or 5 pound bags, with 15+ pounds at $6.29/lb.  The more you buy the less the cost per pound. They also have an organic for $11.99/lb. It's makes the baked goods really dense. I also dipped the Tuna patties in it with egg white and a sprinkle of Parmesan before I fried them.

I'm learning so much here! Thanks everyone!

Hi Umpa, 

What's the difference between making your own almond flour using your food processor and the NOW brand
(other than convenience, of course)?

Last week, I went to Costco and bought a 40 oz. jar of dry roasted unsalted almonds for $8.65.
The NOW brand flour costs between about $3.75 and $6.50 for a 10 oz. bag + shipping.
I could make 10 oz. of almond flour for about $2.16.

Mouseissue,
You may want to use raw almonds to make the flour out of, not sure if the roasted ones will work the same.

This is the lowest flour I have found next to flax mouseissue.I have ground my own almonds when I ran out( a couple tablespoons) but never by the cup.Like i don't know how many almonds go into one cup ground  almonds.For me, I am working on the Bakery Book and when you are making a loaf of bread that requires 3 cups of flour every carb counts! So I cut the almond flour with other products to lighten it up.

Can you post the link for that and the xylitol you use?

Thanks Umpa!

I will remember to add flax seed flour to bring down carb count when using larger amounts of almond flour.

Its not just flax you can also use soy protien powder(0 carb)
I will make myself a note beebs
