<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Here is the summaries I received: does not look like we can get Sorghum or garfava flour in Canada! ****************************** http://www.akins.com/hh/wgf_flours.htm Found this while seatching for bean flour - lots of things to order. ******************************** Here is some good reading..... http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/ggpages/topics/ ************************* I've tried to locate sorghum flour everywhere I can think of in my area with no success. I had several replies from people who are also interested in finding this product but no one can find it in a health food store. One response read "in my book sorghum is indien millet and celiac people may reacte to it." The ethnic section in Superstore has millet flour at a reasonable price but I haven't tried it myself. I also phoned a couple of suppliers with the following responses: "Kingsmill Foods does not sell sorghum flour, and we do not use this product. I have checked Specialty Food Shop at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, and Grain Process, Toronto, and neither carry this product. I understand that sorghum is a corn flour from the southern United States and is used extensively in Britain and Europe. It is available from The Gluten-Free Pantry in Glastonbury, CT @ US$5.95 for 5 lb. They have a minimum order of 25 lb. so that doesnt's sound too good. Their toll free # is 800-291-8386 website is www.glutenfree.com. Live-n-Well in Richmond BC may bring it in. Check in a month if still interested. They do Mail Order business and the toll free # is 877-270-8479. Bette's bread better be good! Peggy." ************************** "Presently, we do not sell any sorghum flour. We have looked into the idea of carrying JOWAR but have not yet taken a decision on this. Best Regards, Steven J. Singer President Glutino.com" **************************** Canadian Celiac Association National Office 190 Britannia Rd. East, Unit 11 Mississauga ON L4Z 1W6 1-800-363-7296 e-mail: [log in to unmask] Hope they can help. ***************************** Try Bob's Red Mill,503-6514-3215, fax 503-653-1339. 5209 s.e. international way, MILWAUKEE, OR 97222. ************************** We recently purchased both the Garfava and Sorghum flours and they are both the Authentic Foods brand. I looked at their web site and they don't seem to supply any retail stores out of the US. However, you can buy through email at their site: www.authenticfoods.com ************************** Sorghum and Garfava flours can be purchased on-line from Authentic Foods at http://www.authenticfoods.com Hope this helps! ************************** There is a cookbook sponsored by the Ontario Coloured Bean Growers Association which is published in cooperation with the Canadian Celiac Association. It is Full of Beans by Violet Currie & Kay Spicer, ISBN 0-9695688-1-9, published by Mighton House. The book states that gluten-free whole bean flour is available in 2, 5, and 10 kilogram bags at Grain Process Enterprises Ltd., 39 Golden Gate Court, Scarborough, Ontario M1P 3A4, 1-800-387-5292, or through mail order from the Ontario Coloured Bean Growers ssociation, Association Office, R. R. 5, Mitchell, Ontario N0K 1N0, (519)348-4141. This bean flour is not exactly the same as the garbfava flour from Authentic Foods in San Diego, California, which is made from garbanzo beans and fava beans. I don't know if you would get the same results in Bette Hagman's recipes. I suggest you get some bean flour and experiment. I have looked at stores in Victoria and can't find these either. As neither fava (Windsor) beans nor sorghum are popular in Canada they may not be available. If anyone has them it will be the big natural food store in Vancouver "Famous Foods". If they don't have them prob no one will. ************************* It was the same for me, but I just ordered them from Authentic Food at this address: http://www.authenticfoods.com/manufacturing.htm I have made her French bread, English Muffins, Bagels, and all were delicious. **************** Sorghum flour is available in Indian food stores but called jowar (or jawar) flour. I have used bean flour for the garfava flour and this can usually be purchased at bulk stores. Hope this helps.
