Has anyone tried Tova Carbalose? I'm wondering how it behaved for
you.

Their website says:

Carbalose™ is a new flour that will revolutionize the Low-Carb market.
In most recipes, Carbalose™ behaves like wheat flour, because unlike
similar products, it is made mostly from wheat, yet it lacks most
non-fiber Carbohydrates.

When used instead of normal flour, Carbalose™ can reduce the Net Carb
count by as much as 90%.

Although I haven't looked carbalose up, I don't think I'd want to use
a flour that has a trademark attached to it.

Thanks for that.
Describing it as 'revolutionary' is a red flag to me...


From: http://www.tovaindustries.com/carbalose/faq.html

"How is Carbalose ™ made?
Carbalose™ is made through a unique process and contains
Enzyme-Modified Wheat, as well as Plant fiber, Wheat protein and some
unique conditioners, enzymes and emulsifiers. Carbalose™ does not
contain any soy protein, sugar-alcohols, dairy, animal-originated,
trans-fatty, or saturated fat products.
Upon request, it is also available soy-free."

Whoa. How many red flags can they cram into one paragraph?
I touch it with a barge-pole, even a remotely controlled barge-pole!

Exactly. It doesn't engender confidence in me when they won't
disclose.

It can but in this case it is soy. Not soy protein though. I'll pass.

Fully agree.

And I've tried so many brands of low carb/gluten free flour or breads,
countless recipes... some are a lot better than others, but ultimately
leave me unsatisfied. I use mostly spelt (which I am happy with) and
try to limit my intake.

Low carb, low schmarb -- just try cutting quantity for a while and see what happens. I infer you are trying to shake off some poundage?

If it's GMO - I would avoid like the plague.

I'm trying to avoid the carbs. Hubby is trying to lower carbs and I'm
trying to help.

No idea. From what I can deduce, it's a proprietary process that they
use.

I can tell you what the web site says - but you could have looked that
up yourself

I once tried their "Carb Quick" baking mix. Something like Bisquick.
It raised my DH's blood glucose levels more than regular flour.

Darn. Well, that's not good... I was hoping it would help blood with
glucose - not raise it. Oh, well.
