A very interesting product. Unfortunately in the list of ingredients it mentions 16g carbs but doesn't say if this is per 100g serving.Anyone had any experience using this flour?

On the Home page of the site it gives the same figures as percentages so it is per 100g. Did you look at the recipe page, I am keen to try the chapattis for a start.A very interesting product. Unfortunately in the list of ingredients it mentions 16g carbs but doesn't say if this is per 100g serving.
It was £8.75 per kilo when I looked which put me off. I might weaken if you get good results but it is chapattis that tempt me.I came across the product when ordering my latest batch of erythritol off Amazon ~ not cheap at £7 a kilo but my desire to try and make a reasonably low carb crumble was high so Ive now got a bag sitting in front of me, theres raspberries, blackberries amd bluberries in the fridge so I guess its a case of “ nothing ventured, nothing gained”
Ive tried making crumble topping with whole oats previously but spikes are too high. The crumble topping Ive made out of this product comes to 40g carbs for enough for 8-10 portions crumble. With the berries factored in the whole crumble comes to 8-10g carb per portion. The same crumble topping recipe using whole oats would be over 150g carbs before the berries are added. Time will tell how this tastes and what effect it has on my sugarsYou may find that whole oats don't peak you, as they take a lot longer to digest then ground floor.
Bread / chapatis, crumble and savoury biscuits are top of my listIt was £8.75 per kilo when I looked which put me off. I might weaken if you get good results but it is chapattis that tempt me.
I went for a 3 pack which brought the price down - I was obviously feeling optomistic (or foolhardy) when I reached Amazon checkout!It was £8.75 per kilo when I looked which put me off. I might weaken if you get good results but it is chapattis that tempt me.
Excellent - I will grab a few bags!3 hour rise 0.8mmol from the pre meal reading - a definate keeper
Some people have reported good results with bread makers. I have used the bread maker on the dough setting (ie as a mixer) then turned out and used for pizza, flatbreads and rolls. A few tips for baking with breadmakers, use a smaller amount than usual say 200 to 300 gms of flour with 75% water to flour. This ensures the middle of the loaf gets baked and not soggy. You can also dilute a little with regular flour eg 20% whole-wheat, still negligible glycemic responses.@GerryDavies Have you tested fiberflour in bread makers? (Before I had type2 we used to buy floor in 18kg stacks, and eat a loaf of bread between us each day....)
