Gluten-Free & Delicious
A round-up of some of the newest and most popular products to hit the market.
user ratingAs recently as five years ago, gluten-free offerings in grocery stores were less than inspiring, but things have changed dramatically. More people have gluten intolerance and celiac disease (an autoimmune disease that adversely affects the small intestine), and an additional group of shoppers want to eat healthier, better-for-digestion foods.
Specialty stores were the first retailers to embrace gluten-free products, followed by regional grocery chains. In fact, regional supermarket giant Wegmans introduced more gluten-free products last year than any other retailer. Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s are creating significant gluten-free sections. Food vendor Aramark has even opened a gluten-free concession stand at Coors Field in Denver.
Tastes continue to improve in gluten-free products and the grocery aisles are overflowing with items ranging from cookies and pretzels to burritos, tortillas, soup and beer. For example, Culinary Collective markets the Zocalo Gourmet brand line of gluten-free flours, including Purple Corn and Amaranth; , Duinkerken Foods Inc. has items such as waffles and pizza crust; Dr. Lucy’s markets chocolate chip, oatmeal, sugar and cinnamon cookies; Frontier Soups offers 27 gluten-free soup mixes with flavors such as Hearty Meals Illinois Prairie and Corn Chowder; and Wild Thymes Farm Inc. has a new line of gluten-free condiments such as Cranberry Raspberry Sauce and Tuscan Tomato Basil Vinaigrette.—Denise Shoukas and Vanessa Facenda
