Let’s talk flours! The sad thing about gluten free flours is that they are not all created equal. I love Bob’s Red Mill, but their gluten free flours (not their starches, those are fine) are too coarsely ground for good gluten free baking. I’ll share here the sources that I use for my various gluten free flours.
There are also various other goods that I’ve found I just need to buy online if I want them in reasonable quantities – nuts not processed in a facility that processes gluten are one. In stores, I know that KIND brand is okay. Other than that… I buy online.

Anthony’s Goods
I love Anthony’s. They have a pretty crazy selection and a (generally) good price. Their rice flours aren’t quite as finely ground as I’d like, so I don’t source those from them.
I buy:
- Potato starch (theirs doesn’t have clumps, it’s great)
- Corn starch
- Oat flour
- Psyllium husk, ground and whole
- Gluten free nuts of various kinds
- Nutritional yeast
Authentic Foods
Authentic foods make the finest ground rice flours that I’ve used. They’re wonderful.
I buy:
- Rice flours – white, brown, and sweet (aka glutinous – I’ve had a reaction with mochiko, so I think it isn’t Celiac-safe)
- Millet flour
- Sorghum flour
- Potato flour (not to be confused with potato starch!)
Bouchard Family Farms
I only purchase light buckwheat flour from this company, and I do so through Amazon, although apparently they have a website where you can purchase it and they also tell you about buckwheat flatbreads, called ployes. The more you know.
Pure Original Ingredients
I get these through Amazon as well, and it seems to be the only location they are sold. These days, the only product I purchase from them is tapioca starch (you get slightly more than from Anthony’s for cheaper, that’s about the only advantage).
Yupik
Yupik is a new brand that’s selling through Amazon. They have a wide variety of gluten-free nuts as well as some promising gluten free flours for a bit cheaper than the brands I’ve mentioned so far. I’ve only tried their tapioca starch and millet, but I’ll be slowly testing their other flours and I’ll update as I do. If you’ve tried them, please let me know about your experience in the comments!
- Tapioca starch
- Brown rice flour
- Millet flour
- Sorghum flour
- Oat flour
- Buckwheat flour (I believe this is also light buckwheat, but I’m unsure)
- Quinoa flour
- Amaranth flour
- Chickpea flour
- Coconut flour
Bob’s Red Mill
Like I said, I don’t really like their flours, although they can be good in a pinch. I do appreciate some of their products, though.
I buy:
- Gluten free rolled oats
- Nonfat dry milk powder
