December 05, 2020Reviewer: Leslie in Arkansas* OMG! This is the BEST low carb flour I've used! Prior to using Dixie USA low carb flour, I had tried using Tova Carbalose flour, and it was better than what I'd tried to that point, but it left a lot to be desired. Carb Counters low carb flour has the baking soda and other ingredients necessary to make excellent breads! The breads I made come out soft inside and fluffy--not dense like nut flours. They have a wonderful flavor--not exactly like bread made from regular (whole carb) flours, but amazingly similar. I wish I could post a photo here to show you what the bagels I made this morning turned out like--they're everything I could have wished for! I can't wait to make sugar-free cinnamon rolls, something I've not had in years!

November 11, 2020Reviewer: Diane in Maryland* As far as low carb flour goes, this one is okay. I bought it because it was A/P flour, but it isn't. It's SELF RISING flour and contains baking powder, which contains sodium. My elderly father likes to try to stick to a low carb diet and also has congestive heart failure... I used this flour twice before he started to retain fluid and had to start a diuretic. Shame on me for not looking at sodium, but it was just supposed to be all-purpose flour. I won't buy this brand again.

November 08, 2020Reviewer: A guest* NOT KETO FRIENDLY! NOT DIABETIC FRIENDLY! Spiked my blood glucose 41 points in 30 minutes flat. I don't know where they hide the sugar but it's in there. I opened the bag and put 2 tablespoons in a mug with a little water and microwaved it 1 minute to test it for glucose effect and taste. It tasted sweet, which made me nervous. Tested blood glucose right before eating and exactly half an hour later... up from 90 to 131. Why even make it if it does that? May as well use pancake mix. Very disappointed.

October 19, 2020Reviewer: Shannon in Ohio* Ok, so I highly recommend this as a flour substitute! For baking sweet dishes, pizza crust and whatever my heart desires. The product itself is extremely over-priced, however the nutritional compared to almond flour is hands down better. I did keto, cholesterol through the roof. So I focus on high protein, low carb (still 20-30 ish). I don’t feel like I’m sacrificing at all. My family eats it and has no clue.This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

October 02, 2020Reviewer: Bryan in New York* I've used this as a substitute for regular all purpose flour in a few recipes and it works great. I haven't noticed any flavor difference (just a little sweetness, which I don't mind), and for the calories/carbs it saves, along with the added protein, I'd absolutely recommend this over generic all purpose flour. It's quite expensive for the quantity you get, but this stuff is pretty amazing.This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

September 13, 2020Reviewer: A guest* I was really hoping to fall in love with this flour as my husband is a diabetic. I read all the other reviews as people are saying no after taste. I did taste an after taste. I am thinking it is the wheat gluten that i taste and dont like. I was hoping there was not much wheat gluten in it to taste. I made the bread on the back of the package. Maybe mixing it with other flours will help drown out the taste i dislike.

August 15, 2020Reviewer: Vinetia in New York* Best flour yet! I really don’t like baking with Almond Flour and Coconut flour, the texture is never good and always super thick. I have been playing around with this flour and have made rolls and pancakes that taste like the real thing! I strong suggest using it!
This flour rises! You must use inulin and active yeast. Trust me!

May 28, 2020Reviewer: Lauren in New York* I am really impressed by this flour. I can't stand the taste or smell of carbquick, and I was afraid this would produce the same result. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it tastes and cooks/bakes very similar to regular flour. Also, it didn't cause any sort of stomach upset for me. So far I have used it to thicken gravy and make a shortcrust for quiche. It was delicious in both instances.
Be aware that if you are baking with this it does have baking powder in it already, so it behaves like a baking mix or self-rising flour in that whatever you make will puff up a bit. Because of this, my pie crust was a little thick, but it held together very well and was still flaky and crispy and tasted great. I think if I rolled it out thinner and weighed it down better it would have been just like a regular crust. I'll probably try making pizza crust soon. I will be keeping this flour in stock in my kitchen from now on.

I'm going to try every disappointing low carb bread recipe I've tried before using this flour.

October 18, 2019Reviewer: Susan in Missouri* So far it's as good as it gets when it comes to low carb flour. The texture isn't exact but it's a more accurate substitute for regular flour than the others out there. I've purchased this twice now,This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

October 17, 2019Reviewer: Cristina in New York* I needed a break from Almond and coconut flour, this is a good flour substitute for baking. My baked goods looked nice and the taste was close to the real thing. I have to add more extracts to balance the "diet" flavor of the flour but it's worth buying. I recommend this flour.

October 02, 2019Reviewer: A customer in Florida* Love it and plan to buy it again and again. Great flavor and texture! So easy to bake with! Lost a star because of it's relatively short shelf life.This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

August 16, 2019Reviewer: Laura in Texas* I have tried it in several recipes substituting equally for all purpose flour and have been pleased with it every time. No funny taste or texture at all. My husband is a diabetic and I am always trying to include food items and recipes that give us some variety and good things to eat and still limit the carbs and sugars. I will continue to order this!!This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

August 07, 2019Reviewer: Rene in Nevada* I've been using Dixie All Purpose Low carb Flour for over a year and I love it! It's a fine flour that works well in most baking. I find it has a slightly sweet taste which makes it great for cakes, cookies, and bread. It has become a staple of my low carb lifestyle. I sometimes use it in conjunction with other low carb flour options, such as almond flour and coconut flour, to give my bread more flavor or a sturdier composition. Great product.
-
June 15, 2019Reviewer: A customer in Maryland* It works pretty much like actual flour. It tastes OK. I've only used it to bread fried chicken and thicken gravy but no complaints.

May 29, 2019Reviewer: Mark in Arkansas* I have recommended this product to dozens of people. It if far superior to almond or coconut flours on a low carb diet. I use a little xanthan gum and have had excellent results.
-
May 29, 2019Reviewer: WENDY in Ohio* Great flour! I've purchased this several times--we keep it in our cabinet at all times. I make everything with it. From rolls, cookies, cakes---anything that takes almond flour I substitute this 1-1. It is perfect without the nutty taste. Especially good for breads and thickening sauces.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpfulMay 25, 2019Reviewer: monica in California* This doesn't have any funky aftertastes or smells at all. It works great as an all-purpose flour. No weird gummy texture or grittiness. I made a low carb loaf of bread and used mostly this flour. I added some gluten, oat fiber, lupin flour, and yeast to it. It tasted and felt just like "real bread". It had the texture and mouthfeel of it. No hardness. It was soft, fluffy, held well. This made the best bread I've ever made or bought on this diet and I can't believe that this flour is all that I was missing to make it happen. I can't wait to make more loaves of bread and use it for other recipes such as pasta and desserts. I ordered two bags originally to get started and was hoping that they would work. I was not disappointed. This product exceeded my expectations. Even my non-keto family members loved it. I will definitely continue to order more for all of my keto baking and cooking needs. Thank you Netrition for carrying this product as such a low price compared to other sites!This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

March 21, 2019Reviewer: A guest* Second time purchasing and really like this flour. If you are on a low carb way of eating; this is a lifesaver. Tastes the most like "regular" flour that I've found. Made cookies, cakes, buns and pasta with it. It's really helped to keep me "on track".This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

March 07, 2019Reviewer: Nicole in Delaware* This is as close to regular wheat flour as I've been able to find. It has no funny smell. It's not sticky. I fry with it, bake with it, thicken with it. It's wonderful. It's a staple in my kitchen.This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

October 09, 2018Reviewer: Charlotte in Wisconsin* Like that can substitute one to one for regular flour. Does give an "off" taste to everything made with it.

May 11, 2018Reviewer: SUZANNE in Ohio* The thing that I like most about this product is the texture. It's not grainy which makes it a good thickening agent for my low carb pancake recipe. I'm looking forward to experimenting more with this product.This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

6 of 6 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 09, 2018Reviewer: Tina in Arkansas* I've been making low carb quick breads for years but I just couldn't stand one more almond flour, coconut flour or physillium husk muffin or biscuit again. Seriously, I can't even stand the smell. I bought the Dixie carb counter's flour and picked up a bread machine at the thrift store for less than 5 bucks. I searched online for a regular bread recipe then used it with my machine and my new low carb flour. (I've tried other low carb flours with very poor results.) So my first loaf was a little off but I worked on the ratios and used some tips from other recipes. I've learned that bread-making is quite scientific and a bit unpredictable - heavily dependent on room temperature, humidity, quality of the yeast, and kneading time, among others. Even so, I haven't had to throw away a single loaf. One collapsed, some are just lopsided or wrinkly looking, but all were wonderful tasting and at the very worst - the one that completely collapsed - I made bread crumbs and used it to coat fried chicken. My husband does not eat low carb except for what I cook, and he's been asking me to make some more of that bread. The Dixie carb counter flour makes my bread recipes taste like bread. Not sour like another low carb flour I have in my cupboard, not weird, no aftertaste, just real bread. Now if I could just make it look like a loaf, I'd be in business!................or broke, because this stuff if expensive! I'll still order it when I can though.

December 15, 2017Reviewer: Michelle in Washington* Finally a healthy flour alternative. Love to air fry and it's great to have a crust again.This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

December 01, 2016Reviewer: Lisa in Texas* I LOVE this flour. I am diabetic, but I bake. This product and others have helped me to keep doing this. I do not use more than 1/2 of the required flour amount and make up the other half with regular all purpose flour. For cookies, 1/2 is good. For a cake, it depends on the cake. Something more crumbly and light would be able to use a smaller amount to retain texture.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 04, 2015Reviewer: Jenny in Michigan* This is the closest thing to a neutral-tasting flour I have found or tried mixing up myself. It doesn't have a sourey aftertaste or a strange odor ( like Carbquick or carbalose pre-made flour mixes) so biscuits and muffins don't need to be dolled up with other flavors, like blueberries or herbs and spices, to taste good. It can carry good butter all by itself!
It is expensive, so I usually mix ~ 2 parts Dixie flour + 1 part almond flour/ meal + 1 part flax flour/meal; or I use it in equal parts. Add 2 eggs, baking powder, and a little pinch of salt and voila! A plain little bread you can use for sweet or savory.
The texture holds together nicely, so a pb&j sandwich isn't all crumbs. It browns nice too, even with no sugar or added fat, like butter or oil, so it looks appetizing right out of the oven.

March 16, 2015Reviewer: Ronald in Pennsylvania* I love baking and my husband is diabetic so its very hard to find sugar free AND low carb items.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpfulMarch 08, 2015Reviewer: BJ in Oregon* I had been using another low carb flour but could not get past the bad aftertaste. Also bread dough was very hard to work with and I could not find a decent recipe for regular bread. Then I tried the Dixie Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour. This is a winner. I made bread first off and the dough was extremely easy to work with, the bread was very soft and did not fall as soon as I took it out of the oven as with the other low carb flour. I loved the taste (no aftertaste). The only objection I have is the price. It is waaaaay over priced. Bring the price down to match that of the other low carb flour sold by Netrition and I will buy it regularly. $10.00 a pound is way to much to pay for any kind of flour, much as I like it, I just cannot afford it.This review is specific to Carb Counters All Purpose Low Carb Flour

8 of 8 people found the following review helpfulMay 07, 2014Reviewer: Jeanne in Virginia* Let me say that I can't eat other low carb flour. I just can't stomach the taste. That said, this has some of the same flavors, just not as concentrated. It doesn't smell nearly as bad (I tested them side by side). I made muffins, but didn't end up eating them because the off flavor just didn't make it worthwhile (although lemon extract covers it pretty well). Texture is very good though. I was going to throw this away too, but then a wonderful thing happened - I tried an apple spice cake and it turned out great. So it depends on your palate. I can only use this in highly flavored baked items.

No nasty aftertaste, no grainy-ness, just lots of YUM. It's easy to work with - my teenager made her first loaf of bread EVER with it, and it was fabulous.
