Bob's Red Mill Finely Ground Tapioca Flour 16 Ounce (Pack of 2)

Deciding to go mostly gluten free is not really that big a deal. I have found that it is easier to control belly fat when the gluten intake is eliminated or at least reduced. I have found many tasty recipes using this Bob's Red Mill Tapioca flour. One of my favorites is pancakes. I had eliminated pancakes from my breakfast menu because of the large gluten contents but when made with tapioca flour they are just as tasty.As I mentioned above, I have tried numerous recipes with this tapioca flour and most were tastier than expected. However, my biggest surprise was with my worst affliction. Like many, if not most, others I am a chocoholic. Regardless of being on a vegan plan or being a vegetarian or you name it, when anything at all with chocolate is within my reach I will consume it in a NY minute. Now I have found many chocolate recipes that use tapioca flour that have cut my guilt feelings at least in half. If only I could cut my desire for chocolate in half but I know it will never happen.I find the price for this product here on Amazon to be favorable and being delivered to my door is all I can ask.. When my present supply runs out I will be back here for more.

Bought this for its high quality for my bread maker.

As a sufferer of celiac I have been searching for quality breads and pizza crust for quite a while now and have decided that tapioca and tapioca/rice flours are the best for making most savory bread products, particularly pizza. Tapioca makes a great crispy/chewy crust that is the closest to real pizza that us gluten-free folks are likely to get. At 80 ounces for just over 12 dollars (or less than 12 if you use subscribe and save) this is a great value. Bob's Red Mill has led the way on the gluten-free product front, their gluten-free grains and flours are tested using ELISA which is a highly sensitive way to detect gluten in a product. Thus, you can feel secure knowing that this product isn't going to make you sick. My one compaint about this product is true for most (or all) Bob's Red Mill products, I don't like the packaging. Tapioca flour is quite fine and can make quite a mess. Bob's Red Mill's crinkly plastic package is hard to open (you should definitely use a scissors or perhaps a sharp knife) and even more difficult to securely re-seal. I usually put the leftover flour in a tupperware container for less mess and to ensure that bugs are going to get into my flour after I open it up. All in all a good product that I rely on for much of my gluten-free baking needs.

Works well for me

Bob's Red Mill does it again with this tapioca flour. I bought this stuff to make Brazilian Cheese Puffs. I was a little uncertain as to the characteristics of the flour and how it would react to my unenlightened hands [never used tapioca flour for bread before] and techniques. However, the product turned out exactly like the description and my Brazilian company seemed quite pleased.One thing I learned about this product though, having made a total of 4 batches is that you should only mix the dough until it is fully blended, and don't knead the dough like you would with wheat flour. This of course makes sense as a gluten-free flour since you aren't trying to develop the gluten.The only thing that I wish Bob's Red Mill would do with their products is to put a reseal on their package. If you aren't using a full container each time, you need to find some way to store it away from moisture. That means locating a canning quart or something to store it in. Just a ziplock kind of closure would be so nice.

My family and I all eat a healthy plant based diet, and throughout the years I have learned a lot of cool ways to make vegan cheeses. A few of the recipes I came across called for using Tapioca flour in them. After (unsuccessfully) searching high and low for it, locally, I was happy to find it on here. They say that adding the Tapioca flour (to your cheese) will make it a lot more stretchy and meltable.You'll get a fairly good sized package of the Tapioca flour. The amount called for in my recipe wasn't all that much, so I forsee this lasting me quite a long time. This, for me, helps keeps the cost inexpensive and worth purchasing. Tapioca flour is a gluten free product, so you could also use this as a regular flour alternative for baking; however, I haven't tried that yet. It was easy to work with and I'm happy to have found it. It seems to be of good quality and is from a brand I know and trust.

I purchased 2 packs of Bob's Red Mill GF Tapioca Flour (also known as tapioca starch) to make my own gluten free all purpose flour blend. I whisk together 2 bags of sorghum flour, 2 bags of tapioca starch, and 1 bag of almond flour in a large 6 qt container that I store in my freezer. The flour blend measures cup for cup just like regular wheat flour. I've had great success converting my old glutinous flour-based recipes to gluten free versions. Everyone who tries them can't tell the difference! To convert a recipe to gluten free, I also add 2/5 tsp xanthum gum for each cup of flour that the recipe calls for. I also usually have to bake the cake / bread / pastry for longer than my original recipe called for. Purchasing the flour in bulk on Amazon comes out much cheaper than buying it in the grocery store, especially as I ordered enough of this and other flours to qualify for free shipping.

Product would be good but un useable due to a hole in the bag and it spilled out. Thankfully I bought 2 bags so one is usable and is great.
