how does it do on rice, tapioca, popcorn and other gluten free grains
1080526
I use mine with only gluten free grains. Rice and quinoa grind very well. I've never tried grinding tapioca. I have tried grinding dried corn kernels and it ground them, but not very well because they are so hard. I haven't tried popcorn, but I would think that might also not grind real well.

Apologies, but I have not even tried those items. I believe corn kernels would be way too big to fit in the 1.25" hopper opening. The driest grains do best as moisture makes the grinding parts turn gummy. I bet rice & tapioca would do well. I have ground Spelt, Kamut, & other wheats. For flax & teff, seeds like chia, I use my Krups coffee grinder. I do not eat corn, so am not familiar with grinding it, but I'm just thinking of the size of it & it is going to be too big to be ground by this grain grinder, in my estimation.

Tapioca is gluten-free, however Kraft makes other foods that contain gluten so it could be processed on shared equipment or in a shared facility. Depending on how sensitive you are to gluten, that could be an issue.

I really love this rice! I have not noticed a smell at all. I add this to soup or as a side dish. The low glycemic index works for me. It is the only rice I use.

I love this deluxe model, from what I understand its far superior to the regular model. I mostly grind spelt and wheat. I have ground brown rice a few times with it and was pleased with the resulting flour. I did go back and order the motor for it too & am really pleased using it. I did grind rice with it by hand cranking and motorized both ways result in nice flour. Hope that helps

Sorry, I have only cooked white rice. I am still happy with its performance.

I buy the Great River Millet often. We have celiac disease in our family and we have not had any issues with gluten cross contamination... High quality millet.

It's gluten free, by new grains...the company's name who produces them. While rice may be a grain it does not contain gluten, which causes an allergic reaction in people with celiacs

I hope it worked for you as well as it did for me with the rice. However, if you are Gluten intolerant, you should look into a company called GF Harvest, I believe their website is www.gfharvest.com because they produce a lot of different varieties of oats and oatmeal that is all gluten free. They are a great company and also have great tasting oats!

It works great for both white and brown rice. I tried steel cut oatmeal and turned out well, but so far have not tried wheat, barley. According to the Aroma

I use it and nothing else as I am allergic to all cereal grains. I have had a lot of success with it as a solo flour actually and see ZERO reason to mix it with anything else. It is not a mathematically straight swap but cooking with it is a lot easier than these other comments suggest. Just hit some allergy websites for usable recipes.

These are the package ingredients: garbanzo bean flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, whole grain sweet white sorghum flour, fava bean flour. Per what the Paleo Diet book says, "the paleo diet does not allow for any legumes (beans, peanuts, green beans, lentils, etc) or starches (potatoes, rice, etc) or grains (bread, wheat, oats, etc). If that is your interpretation, then neither this flour nor any other (gluten-free or otherwise) is "paleo acceptable."

Well, I am gluten free, so only do those types of flours. It does those well. I believe it would be the same with gluten type flours. I really love this machine. But, you need to take a spatula occasionally and scrape the bottom of the bowl where the mixers do not go down far enough.

Since corn is the only grain involved in grits (and, hence, polenta), any brand of grits should be gluten-free. Even my gluten-sensitive daughter consumes these grits.In addition, Bob's Red Mill site specifies their grits are gluten-free.So, while I can't run scientific tests and guarantee it myself, I'd say, yes, Bob's corn grits is a gluten-free product.By the way, in order to make polenta from grits -- this is assuming you don't already know -- cook the grits per directions, and then pour them in to some shaped container. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate, covered (of course). Cut into chunks, pan-fry, and serve with eggs and bacon, eggs and sausage, or however you want it.Hope all this blather helps.

I purchased this for the non-GMO aspects of the product. There is no mention of a mixed environment for production (i.e. with wheat). Gluten intolerance vs. celiac requires different responses .... from the-gluten-free-chef.com;" Although corn, like wheat, rye and barley, does have a protein content it does not cause harmful effects to the intestines of someone with celiac disease. Therefore it is considered safe for celiacs to eat from a gluten perspective. However, many celiacs can have an intolerance to corn, so it is best not to rely on it too heavily as a substitute for wheat flour."
