Default Turnip Flour

Has anyone ever seen a turnip flour product for sale? I know that many
tubers are sold as flour, such as potato and sweet potato flour, the latter
of which is used a lot in Asian cooking. I am looking for a low carb
substitute for starch flours, and turnips are certainly low carb.

Any ideas on where to source this, or are there alternatives to consider?

How about Tigernut flour?

There are various tree nut flours, like almond. Wouldn't they be low-carb?
I would get flour made from blanched almonds, as it would be lower in
phytic acid than when made from whole almonds.

Almond flour is great for low carb baking, but it contains a lot of
undesirable types of fat (omega-6) so you have to limit the amounts you eat.

I agree. Omega-3 comes from green. Animals that eat green grass. Fish that
either eat algae or seaweed, or eat other fish that ate something green.

Omega-6 comes from seeds, or nuts. (No seeds in the ocean.) You've got
flaxseed meal, but that is low quality Omega-3, compared to fish.

Just remember "green is good."
