Go gluten-free with an array of tasty food items

If you or someone you know has difficulty digesting wheat or if you want to regulate your blood's glycemic index better, going gluten-free may be the answer. Many people have allergies to gluten, which is found most commonly in wheat, but also in rye, barley and many other grains. That means that any types of bread or pastry, most cereals and pastas, and other baked good or items thickened with wheat flour, such as puddings and gravies, can cause an allergic reaction. Fortunately, we carry a complete line of gluten-free foods and food products to keep you and your loved ones happy and healthy. At out Every Day Low Prices, you can save money at the same time.

Breakfast and cereal

Some of everyone's favorite cold breakfast cereals are now in gluten-free form, including granola. In addition, many types of hot cereal, such as oats or muesli, are also available in gluten-free versions. For a quick grab-and-go breakfast, try a gluten-free breakfast bar or granola bar. These have many tasty options, such as peanut butter, dark chocolate, almonds and berries. In addition, we have some tasty toaster pastries as well, filled with flavors like strawberry and apple cinnamon.

For your weekend sit-down breakfasts, you can remain gluten-free as well. There are several baking mixes you can select from top brands to make homemade pancakes and waffles. These mixes are made from gluten-free grains like brown rice, milled flax seed and sweet potatoes. Even better, to top your pancakes and waffles, we offer several different sweeteners and syrups. These include flavors like maple, blueberry, strawberry and chocolate. You can even choose authentic organic real maple syrup.

Pasta and noodles

there's no need to skip your favorite pasta dishes because of gluten allergies because there's a wide selection of gluten-free pasta noodles that you can use the same way you'd regular pasta. This includes lasagna, penne, spaghetti and, of course, elbow macaroni for macaroni and cheese. If you like to make casseroles, there are gluten-free egg noodles you can use. For Asian dishes, there are some noodles you can use in stir-fries, soups and other dishes. Combine these with pasta sauces, including Alfredo sauces, that are made with gluten-free thickeners.

Boxed meals

When cooking for your family, you probably like the convenience of boxed meals that come with everything you need except for the fresh meat or other proteins that you add to make a complete meal. Even if you or someone you love is living a gluten-free lifestyle, these step-saving products are still at your disposal. Popular favorites like dirty rice, hamburger macaroni, Caribbean rice and risotto can make you look like you're a classically trained chef and making meals that are gluten-free as well.

Flours and meals

In the beginning, going gluten-free meant that you had to give up some of your favorite foods chiefly among these being all forms of bread. However, advancements in processing mean you can even make fresh bread, cakes, pies and all the baked goods you create with regular flours only now with gluten-free varieties. These flours and premeasured baking mixes use a variety of flours and other ground products to replace wheat flour. Some of these that you can use include white rice flour, brown rice flour, flax seed flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour and oat flour. Although some of these retain the flavor of the product that makes up the flour, you cannot tell the difference once you add your sweet or savory ingredients. Because these work just like regular flour, this means you can make other things that require flour, such as deep-fried foods, gravies and pan sauces.

Sweets and treats

Whether you're giving up gluten for health reasons or just to change your diet, there are still items that you want to enjoy from time to time. These include products that you thought you might not be able to enjoy but are now made in gluten-free form so you can satisfy your sweet tooth. Eat cookies like chocolate sandwich cookies, chocolate chip cookies and even animal cookies for the kids.

Believe it or not, there are a surprising number of salty snacks that have gluten in them, like cheese puffs, corn chips and pretzels. However, the next time you're enjoying a gluten-free beer (yes, those are available as well), don't hesitate to reach for the snack bowl because you're safe there too.
