Deb. Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Yes! Both compliant. As long as they are pure with no other additives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I am not an expert but I would say no because the sweet potato fritters are fried.Here are two paragraphs from the Can I Have post that may address your question. Almond Flour: Yes Yes, you can have almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, and other non-grain-based flours, but it’s context-dependent. You can use it in place of breadcrumbs in your meatballs, to dredge a piece of chicken, or to thicken a sauce or stew. You may not use it for Paleo baking—to make muffins, pancakes, bread, cupcakes, cookies, waffles, biscuits, tortillas, pizza crust, or anything of that nature. We call those recipes Sex With Your Pants On (SWYPO) foods, and they are expressly off-limits during your Whole30. - See more at: http://whole30.com/2013/06/the-official-can-i-have-guide-to-the-whole30/#sthash.cHUYHxII.dpuf[/ Chips: Not if they’re store bought While we recognize that potatoes are a real food, we also know that eating them in the form of fries and chips has turned them from “produce” into an adulterated commercial “product.” It’s easy to find potato, tortilla, or plantain chips that meet the Whole30 ingredient standards. It is not easy, however, to consume those chips in a way that’s true to the spirit of the Whole30. For most of us, deep-fried, salted, crunchy chips are a bonafide food-with-no-brakes, and fall into that deep, dark area of less-healthy foods with technically compliant ingredients. For that reason, no store-bought chips of any nature (potato, plantain, tortilla, beet… not even kale) on the Whole30. Feel free to roast your own kale, pan-fry your own plantains, or bake your own sweet potato spears at home, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb. Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Sweet potato fritters or cakes is a way of preparing sweet potatoes that is not chip like but adds compliant carb veggie to a meal. Frying is not forbidden. Arrowroot powder: Yes Arrowroot powder is a fine choice as a thickener and can be especially helpful in sauces and gravies. Like almond flour, though, it’s not appropriate for use in baked goods. - See more at: http://whole30.com/2013/06/the-official-can-i-have-guide-to-the-whole30/#sthash.cHUYHxII.IHA9gnzC.dpuf See this link about Sweet Potato Fritters, Melissa Hartwig discussed them with the poster: http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/427-sweet-potato-fritters-and-my-breakfast-of-champions/ And these recipes: http://www.eatingforidiots.com/sweet-potato-fritters/ http://nomnompaleo.com/post/39652213611/whole30-day-4-sweet-potato-hash-eggs http://theascentblog.com/whole30-recipe-cinnamon-sweet-potato-fritters/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Ok. I was thinking you would make them like apple fritters / donuts, not like sweet potato hash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcbrien0119 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 What about making zucchini fritters with coconut flour? It's not a baked good and all the ingredients are compliant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Both of the above named fritters are compliant (as are the flours), and not at all the same thing as the American dessert called apple fritters. Cook away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
