5.0 out of 5 stars Not gluten free. Wow, in a bad way., November 27, 2008

Amazon won't let me take all the stars off, or I would. I had a really cool, Garrison Keillor-esque review of this up, complete with a discussion about how I made apple pie with this for Thanksgiving.

What I didn't know yet, was that this is not, in fact, actually gluten-free. Then I got a nasty surprise--two days of gluten-symptoms. (The five non-celiac family members who very kindly had a gluten-free Thanksgiving with me didn't get sick at all.)

I looked around online, and in some of the celiac forums--apparently Arrowhead Mills doesn't have dedicated, meaning 'gluten-free only', lines.
So, this isn't gluten-free. It's not even close.

Don't despair, though: there are other companies that had the same idea, specifically, The Gluten Free Pantry makes a basic flour mix with the same ingredients. I can't find anything online that says anyone has ever had a problem with them. (In fact, they are on Clan Thompson's recommended gluten-free list.)

Clan MacDuffie over here thinks we'll go with them instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Flat, uninteresting, and grainy, November 23, 2007

With four of us in the family that are wheat and gluten intolerant, we attempted to use this item to make biscuits for our Thanksgiving feast. Although the flours are ground quite fine, after mixing all ingredients, we found this was still quite "wet". Attempting to roll it out, cut it out, and then place in on a baking sheet proved a real test to patience! The biscuits came out flat, crumbly, and not high on our choice.

When I first became gluten free I tried to mix different flours (rice, tapioca, sorghum, etc) but cakes were always dense. This is a close as you can get to real flour. Still need xanthum gum. cakes a light. also their pizza mix is great. we cook the crust a little to make it crispy and then at the sauce, cheese, and toppings.
