Gluten free ingredients
Just received a Bread Making Machine to enable me to make gluten free bread. Where in the Greater Toronto area is the best place to purchase ingredients such as brown rice flour, sorghum flour, xanthan gum, amaranth flour, quinoa flour,whole bean flour, almond flour etc.

Karma Co-Op carries all of those flours and more (teff flour, coconut flour, barley flour etc.). I have seen xanthan gum at Herbs & Nutrition (Bloor and Bathurst).

Go to Chinatown for rice and tapioca flours- just make sure you are getting regular rice rice flour and not SWEET rice flour, which is flour made from sushi rice...
Bulk Barn/Big Carrot as already mentioned for the specialty flours. If you go to BB, pick up some organic coconut flour- fantastic to bake cookies/brownies/cakes with!!! -
Bob's Red Mill line has many GF grains etc. http://www.bobsredmill.com/
You can find them at most health food stores and even the big Loblaw's carry an assortment›1 Reply-
re: CocoTO
Staff of life in Kensington and most grocery stores like metro carries most/all of those products. Be careful buying gluten free flours in bulk because many of them have been cross contaminated with gluten flour. Also, Bobs red mill gluten free flours are processed on gluten free equipment but they also process nuts on the same equipment. So if you have a nut allergy be aware of that.

re: piccola
Another vote for Bulk Barn. They have a wide array of flours and you can save money because you only buy what you need. I can't speak to the cross-contamination issue with products containing but that is something I'd be careful about if there's a gluten allergy.
