This will be with us far a while. Like people calling my radio program
asking for non-fat Alfredo recipes and eggless custards, but not fake
stuff for all the years that low-fat was THE answer. We have a new THE
answer.

There are such things as "destarched" wheat flour, protein isolates
(from wheat, milk, soy, etc.), soy flour, flaxmeal, low-glycemic corn
starch and a lot of other things that make a bread-looking loaf.
Mostly they're not as good as one would hope.

> Is there such thing as low carb bread?

Low is in the eye of the beholder. There are breads that tout 6 or 7
net grams carb per slice (total carbs minus fiber = net carbs).
They're whole wheatish in appearance and texture, for the most part.
Best toasted.

Low carb baked good do exist but in my experience range from barely edible
to horrid. Bread and similar things are made from ingredients such as
toasted wheat bran, almond meal, soy protein, whey, and usually a little bit
of wheat flour.

I was going to ask about this today, but you beat me to the punch. In
the supermarket today, I saw "low carb tortillas." Always interested in
new products and new advertising techniques, I looked at the rest of the
package and realized that there was nothing special about the tortillas.
They're low carb because they're thin. I believe I remember this
coming up in the world of marketing once before. Many years ago, a
package bread manufacturer came up with the idea of slicing the bread
very thin and advertising that each slice had fewer calories than the
regular stuff. (Going from memory, details foggy.) New regulations had
to be put in place as far as what means could be used to call something
"low calorie." Apparently you couldn't call celery "lo cal" either
because celery is naturally low in calories. There's no such thing as a
high calorie celery stalk. (And one shudders to think of it should
someone invent it.) Perhaps new regulations will be coming out soon on
what's called "low carb" and what isn't.


Meanwhile, I should think there would be such a thing as low carb flour
in the health food store. There's soy flour and nut flour. You don't
use them as you use wheat flour, but they are flour and they aren't as
high in carbohydrate content so the word does make sense.

Walmart had some samples of the low carb tortillas a coupla weeks ago.
They taste very similar to the low carb breads around - like somebody
replaced half the wheat flour with sawdust. I was not impressed.

Hey, use celery flour!

Nut flours consist of approximately:
45% Carbs
50% Fats
5% Protein

The one thing all low-carbers have in common is low brain cell count... make no
mistake about it, low carb dieting is in fact an eating disorder.

I'm not sure I've ever had true nut flour before. I've certainly ground
up walnuts or almonds in the cuisinart often enough. That produces
ground nuts. I use them in cookies. (I used to cook for vegan diets,
and nuts are a great tasty fat for those who don't eat meat or dairy.)
If you keep grinding, however, you get walnut butter or almond butter,
not flour. Maybe the problem is with definitions here. I've seen nut
flours for sale, but come to think of it, I'm not sure what defines a
nut flour.

I'd guess something is done to remove the oil or some of the oil too.
That's the only way I can figure to get something with the consistency
of nut butter.


Changing the topic a bit. The vegan peanut cookies made with peanut
butter, added oil (soy, corn, whatever), maple syrup and whole wheat
flour are good enough to get by the folks who like eggs, butter and
sugar in their cookies. They're really peanutty. Use the same recipe
for almond cookies, and you've got something unusual and elegant.

This stuff actually works pretty good. I've tried it. ;-)
Made with soy products.
