Almond flour is practically in everything primal and it doesn't come cheap in your local health food store. I vaguely remember it being as much as $12 for a pound of
Bob's Red Mill brand. Well I am going to share with you an incredible money saver for almond flour. I get mine through my workplace (a bakery/candy shop) that orders their candy from a candy/nut supplier. Those of you who live in Denver might be completely unaware of
Jerry's Nut House. It is not listed on their website but they do have almond meal, blanched and un-blanched. I made the mistake of getting un-blanched one time and got yelled at because it is a tiny bit more bitter with the skin on. However, I still use it and the only difference is it's just more nutty in the recipes. Since it is not necessarily a publicly available product, I can't predict what they will charge for their minimum order of 20 lbs. If you are lucky, it could be as little as $100. You do the math, that is dirt cheap and our 20 lbs lasts us about 4-6 months with frequent baking.
For those who do not live in Denver, do a little internet research and see if you can find a candy/nut supplier near you. If they don't sell to the public, see what kind of arrangement you can come to. Maybe if a couple people get together and want to buy a couple of boxes, they could be persuaded. And don't forget, get the blanched!
Hey Devon,
ReplyDeleteWas just surfing and saw your post. Just FYI and for your readers, jerry's nut house is going to start carrying the nut flowers like almond flower in smaller quantities on-line. They should be up on the site within a week or 2 weeks at most.
Love to hear about what people are doing with our products... And definitely going to have to try to make my own creme fraiche, had no idea that it was that easy.
Best,
Nick Julia
