August 27, 2010 Reviewer: Donna H in Ohio |
| Use this for my flax meal buns--loads of fiber, very filling & sturdy little buns. RECIPE Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 2 muffin top pans with oil and lethicin. Beat together: 5 jumbo eggs, 1/2 c water, 1/4 c olive oil. In another bowl, mix: 1-3/4 c golden flax meal, 3 T oat bran, 3 T almond meal, 1 T non-aluminum baking powder, 1 T xylitol, 1/2 t sea salt. Combine two mixtures, then divide into twelve muffin top wells. Bake 14-15 minutes. Remove and cool completely. These are the BOMB--even my girlfriends at work (who eschew low carb) like these. |

August 26, 2007 Reviewer: Sheryl in Oregon |
| Excellent product, I mix some with my Provision 6 Chocolate whey for my before bed meal....a little water and freeze for a superb "fudgesicle". Sometimes I add a little Cool Whip Free. I also add it to my whey shakes, it really smooths them out, also in my oatmeal. I plan on using it in our body building meal routines, great find!! |

| Oat Fiber is the greatest find! I use it to replace flour, flax seed meal, almond meal. Combined with glucomannan powder, it produces the most filling and tasty muffins and bread! I use it for OMM all the time. Zero calories and fiber? How can you miss? |

| Amazing! The consistency of this is just like flour. Bakes up the same. I made a cake using this and protein powder, egg whites and stevia and it came out just like cake - no carbs. |

May 25, 2007 Reviewer: frederick in Massachusetts |
| I use PolyD Fiber daily: 2 Tbs mixed in my blender with a large glass of milk (I use a chocolate milk product I like). I add 1 TB of oat fiber, half a ripe banana and/or other fruit(s). In doing so, I make sure I get the fiber I need every day to stay "regular" and enjoy a delicious drink besides. I recommend you experiment a bit to determine the amount of fiber that's just right for you. The description of PolyD says it dissolves best in warm liquids and tends to gel in cold liquids. I find that sprinkling the fiber powders into the blending milk-&-fruit mixture is successful in taking care of any potential cold-liquid problem. |

July 21, 2008 Reviewer: Sue in California |
| I used this to make CarbQuick Peanut Butter bars (check their website for the recipe) and was so pleased with the way they came out. Very similar to brownies, only peanut butter flavored! When I ran out of PolyD, I tried the recipe with psyllum husks, which is another water soluble fiber, and the texture was not palpable. PolyD will give your baked goods a moist, almost chewy texture, which I imagine would be nice for low-carb cookies as well. I'm buying four more bags to try other recipes. I highly recommend this product for low carb baked goods. |

February 03, 2011 Reviewer: Donna in Washington |
| I love this stuff. I made some completely awesome strawberry jam with it. The consistency is like full sugar jam. I also made a really good pecan pie with it. google recipe for poly d "corn syrup" and here is the jam recipe:
1 cup crushed strawberries, 1/2 t. lemon juice, 1/2 cup polyd, 1/2 cup sugar equivalent sugar substitute of your choice, 1/2 t. strawberry extract, 1/4 t. butter. mix all ingredients in medium saucepan. Boil until polyd is all dissolved. you can also microwave at full power for 4 min. stir and go for another 4 min. Try this with carbalose biscuits! I also use this in cookie recipes. I do need to be careful not to have too much at one time due to gas. |

| I LOVE this stuff!! I add it to baked goods and you can't even tell it's there! It doesn't change the taste or texture of the food which I love! Other products have a strong flavor or absorb a ton of liquid, but this one doesn't! Try it, you'll love it!! |

May 12, 2013 Reviewer: Karen in Michigan |
| Resistant Starch 260 (Hi Maize) is a great product. I have been using it for 2+ years. It is great to add fiber to your protein smoothies. Added to an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend, it makes a thin, crispy gluten-free pizza crust that is better than regular flour pizza crust. I highly recommend using resistant starch in all kinds of recipes. |

April 27, 2007 Reviewer: A customer in Pennsylvania |
| Resistant Starch is great *if you use it for what is was designed for*. The person who gave a bad review obviously did not do any reading about what to use it for. I've used it and love it. It helps my glucose/insulin issues and I'd never bake without it again. |

May 03, 2010 Reviewer: A customer in Washington |
| WOW! I switched from Resistant Wheat Starch to Resistant Corn starch and could not believe the difference it made in my low-carb biscuits. Before, they had a crumbly texture, now they totally look and feel like country biscuits, soft and beautiful. Unfortunately, the flavor did not improve, but you can't have everything without real flour. The flavor certainly did not get worse, and I am grading it against the resistant wheat starch. The 4 stars is due to its much higher carb count. |

October 14, 2006 Reviewer: Carolyn in Maryland |
| I assumed that this corn starch would thicken sauces and gravies like normal corn starch. It does NOT! "Resistant" may be lower carbs than normal corn starch, but you'll just be adding carbs without the benefit of thickening foods, which is why I'd add corn starch in the first place. It may be useful to bakers, but it was a waste of money for me. |

| WPI 5000 is an amazing product. You can use it with almond flour to create amazing things. We make pizza all the time that is great! I buy it from Netrition often. |

March 05, 2009 Reviewer: Michelle in Ohio |
| This puts me back in the arena of baking the best breads again...and low carb friendly, too. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Easy to work with, tastes good, no bad smell...even looks good. Sounds good, too -when the beeper goes off letting me know that it's done baking. Butter my buns and call me a biscuit, look what's here...Bread again! |

February 20, 2007 Reviewer: Kristin in Michigan |
| I used the Wheat Protein Isolate 8000 to bake some bread using it as a replacement for wheat flour. It came out fantastic!! Wow, bread with only 4 carbs per slice, and it looks like, tastes like real bread, not the dry fibrous stuff that you can buy for 7-8$ per loaf. I will be buying a lot of this!!!! |

| This is a great product to add a bit of chewiness to bread. I use it in a recipe with other flours, whole grains, fiber and isolate to make whole grain bread and it works really well while helping to keep the carb count lower. A customer in Maine |

November 28, 2008 Reviewer: Melissa in Pennsylvania |
| I used this to make a pizza crust, and after having done so, I must urge anyone wanting to buy it to use it only in conjunction with other low carb flour products. The reason being is that alone the texture is a little tough and spongey, and the taste a little strong and off-putting(it overpowered the ingredients atop the pizza). When I made George Stella muffins however, I used the wheat protein only as 1/4 of the entire flour composition (along with 1/4 oat fiber, 1/4 almond meal, and 1/4 flax meal) and the muffins turned out great. So overall the product does what it promises, but don't rely on it too heavily in your baking recipes. |

May 06, 2012 Reviewer: Carissa in New York |
| I have used this product for making pizza crust... besides who doesn't love pizza? The only drawback is the taste is very bland, so never be afraid to use seasoning or herbs (i use dried pizza topping mix of diff veggies & herbs) to help with this small problem. Other than that I am looking to try new recipes, but have had to order more! |
