<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> In a recent digest, someone commented about sweet rice flour: >Ann mentioned lots of bakers said Sweet Rice Flour is a good substitute >for better texture in GF baking. I have a box of SWF from Ener-g foods >(that is the only ingredient)-- the problem <in my opinion>, is this: > > >ONE CUP SWEET RICE FLOUR= 405 CALORIES > >TOTAL CARB (FOR ONE CUP)=90 GRAMS OF CARBS! But all flour - wheat or gluten free - is in that range for calories. 1 cup of flour weighs approximately four ounces, which is about 400 calories of carbohydrates. So, contrary to popular belief, I don't think that GF foods are more calorie dense. I think that celiac folks who are having intestines that are healing absorb more from the food. Nathan
