Default Re: Flax meal?

almond meal isn't allowed until the nut rung (Rung 3) -- flax can be used starting with induction. I get my flax meal at Walmart but I've also seen it along the spice aisle in the chain stores here.

I bought a pound of Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour 3 weeks ago at Walmart for $6.57. A little goes a long way - I have made a couple things with it and still have about half left. Contrary to popular belief almond flour isn't sweet - it really has no flavor.

Try your food processor to grind your flax seed. It should look a little like a powder. I make a cookie out of them - didn't like them as a binder in meatloaf -- I waited to have meatloaf until I was on the nut rung and used the almond flour - worked fine.
