Dr. Jamie Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I cannot have many kinds of nuts. They make me sting and itch. Almonds are a huge no no for me. I hate coconut flour. If I wanted to thicken my meatballs or use just a little in one of your recipes in place of almond flour or coconut flour, I wanted to know if I could use Organic TigerNut flour by The Organic Gemini? https://organicgemini.com/products/gluten-free-flour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted October 19, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 19, 2019 You sure can. Note that they are quite high in starch so the method you describe above is a great use for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jamie Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Thank you LadyShanny! I will only use it where your recipes call for almond flour. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jihanna Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Cassava flour is another option in the gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free flour world. It's much less expensive than tigernut flour is in my local stores, which makes it a much better option for my own uses, and I like that it doesn't impart any flavor. (I wouldn't know whether or not tigernut flour has a "taste" to it, but if that's a concern then it's good to know that cassava doesn't.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loco1968 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi! I'm about to start my Whole30 (May 1 is my start date!) I'm assuming, based on @ladyshanny's response that "tortilla" chips made from tigernut flour, cassava flour, and other W30 compliant ingredients, are actually NOT compliant, because of the starch content and because of the discussion around chips in the W30 book. Is that right? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, no, these chips aren't really Whole30 compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
