Carbalose All-Purpose Low-Carb Flour (2.2 lb Resealable Pouch)

Was hesitant about this product, but it surpassed my expectations. Good 1:1 AP flour substitute with minimal net carbs. Easy to use. Already reordered.

This is great stuff when you are low carbing but still need flour. I used it to make buffalo wings, fried fish, etc…It serves as a perfect substitute for those of us in dire need of flour but no carbs! I have ordered it many times.

Being diabetic, I appreciate the much lower carb count. Works well with all the press forms in my Philips Pasta Maker (add 50% more water). The taste is not quite the same as regular flour, but it is not noticeable with a robust sauce or in a lasagna. To improve the taste, I also will substitute 20% of the Carbalose with Semolina flour and adjust the extra water by only 40% instead of 50%. I have tried baking it in my bread machine, but haven't gotten a good rise (still have to experiment with the yeast and baking powder/soda recipes). Not really sure why it is so much more expensive than regular wheat, though.

This is just the flour they use in Carbquik, without Carbquik's palm oil, buttermilk, baking powder, egg whites, flavoring. It's much denser than regular flour, I assume due to lots of fiber and other things being added that bring down the carb-count. I use it for almost anything that needs flour.

Great product for KetoWhy did you pick this product vs others?:Price

I love this product! It’s the only flower that I use for things like cookies and cakes. The reason for my mediocre review is the reclosable bag. I have yet to buy one, at least from Amazon, that the closer worked, which means I always have it double bagged. At the price we pay, I would think the manufacturer could AT LEAST package it in a reclosable bag that actually works, or stop making it look like a reclosable bag.

Absolutely a great product! Last night we made homemade pizza using Carbalose for the crust, along with pepperoni, olives, homemade sauce, and extra cheese. My blood sugars never went above 125 even having 3 slices! We made delicious sugar free chocolate chip cookies using this product and am greatful we can have a treat again without our blood sugars going through the roof! We have had fun experimenting with this flour and look forward to all the new recipes we will be able to make again! We are not picky how the food turns out, just extremely thankful we can cook and bake again! Bruce in Minnesota, USA

I put off buying Carbalose because of some of the negative reviews from people who didn't like the way it tasted, or believed it had an "after" taste. I imagine there's as many "tastes" as there are people so I decided to try it and give myself the opportunity to make up my own mind. Glad I did. It has been a god-send for me. Being a diabetic living a low carb lifestyle the biggest challenge for alternatives has been BREAD. I don't like the taste of almond flour, don't like the smell of coconut flour, which left me on the hunt for even less-common low carb/keto baking ingredients (ie., oat fiber, sesame seed flour, pecan flour, spelt, hemp hearts, etc.). I've lost track of the number of failures that have hit the trash can. For me, Carbalose takes all the guesswork out of it. Win-win.
