Does anyone know where I can buy almond flour in 5 lb. or less quantities? I can only find it in 25 lb. sacks which is way too much for one recipe.

How about going to an independent bakery....

Or maybe a Middle Eastern market?

Or make your own?

Have you tried Trader Joe's?

Check with a local health food store, the one up here carries Bob's Red Mill brand.

Thank you for your helpful replies including websites. If I can't find it at Trader Joe's, I think I'll try making my own since I need such a small amount.

eileen, I'm curious. What is the recipe and what do you need it for? I've never heard of using almond flour.

A friend gave me a Gluten-Free Almond Flour cookbook and I thought I would try one of the dessert recipes. It's a Chocolate Velvet Torte. I only need 3 cups of flour. I have found the flour locally (I hate paying S&H charges) but it's only in 25 pound bags and it's very expensive. It's even expensive online. So if Trader Joe's doesn't have it (I don't think it does), I'll try grinding almonds myself.

At Trader Joe's it is called almond MEAL but is the same as the almond flour I buy in bulk.

For the gluten-free recipes an excellent way to use it is to combine it with coconut flour half and half. The result is a lighter, finer-textured product than using the nut flour or meal alone.

Found it at Trader Joe's. Thanks for the hint about pairing the almond meal with the coconut flour.

i buy almond meal (probably the same as flour) at trader joes,, not expensive and in smaller size.
