I do an awful lot of baking, mainly because virtually all of us have some sort of food allergy. My daughter has a nut allergy and both myself and my son are allergic to eggs, so as you can imagine I spend a lot of time in the kitchen! I have tried all the different flours on the market, but at the end of the day, they are basically all the same. True, some seem to be finer than others, but that is just because they are pre-sifted. Tesco flour is not, but most of us will sift flour when we are cooking anyway, so I can't see why that should be a reason not to buy it. I use this flour for all my pastries, cookies and muffins (I add baking powder if I ...  Read the complete review

My daughter has just completed her GCSE in Food Tech and the ingredients I have had to but over the course have cost a small forture so I have tried the Tesco Value range where possible and I can tell you that this product is no different to the other 'named' flours you can pick up off the shelves at 3 sometimes 4 times the price. 43p for 1.5 kg why would you even think about paying anymore? The results are no different than when using other makes of flour - I know this because as part of her course she had to experiment with different brands and report the results and also because everything she cooked she got an A* for so it cant be ...  Read the complete review

I made some jam and lemon curd tarts the other day and used this Tesco Value flour because that was the one we'd got in the cupboard, I've had a look online and it costs 43p for a 1.5kg bag of plain flour and you can also buy self raising flour for the same price. My mum makes sure there's always flour in and she doesn't stick to one brand so I just use whatever is there and I wasn't bothered that it was the Value one because flour is flour! lol There are 2 differences between this one and the McDougalls plain flour we just finished, I can compare them because I used McDougalls for the jam tarts and when the bag ran out used this Value one for the ...  Read the complete review

When you are looking for flour i do not understand why you would look any further than Tesco Value flour. Flour is an essential part of many dishes and any baking which you do around the house. The best thing about this flour is that it is cheap! It is around 43p for 1.5kg which is very good for this amount of flour. At this price you are not concerned if you make any mistakes and have to use more flour. It also encourages you to do more baking around the house and perhaps get your kids involved in the act. On my supermarket.co.uk it shows us that value flour is 43p while the tesco brand flour is 72p. The same amount of flour is almost half price! you would be ...  Read the complete review

Tesco Value Flour Description: Manufacturer: Tesco / Type: Baking Aids. Anyone who has read some of my earlier reviews (thanks so much, I really appreciate all the reads, rates and comments!) will know by now that I am a big fan of the supermarket ranges which save me money by spending less on posh packaging. There was a time when I would walk past the "cheap looking" brands, assuming that the ones with fancy packaging would be better. Since then, I have been pleasantly surprised by how good some of the items in these ranges actually are. The packaging only gets thrown in the bin, so does it really make sense to ...  Read the complete review
