Gluten-Free Groceries

May 14, 2009

A big thanks to Erin who participated in our latest 12-day Power Foods Boot Camp, affectionately known as ‘The Cleanse’  , for the following list of Gluten-Free products. Erin was diagnosed with Celiac 18 years ago (no gluten in her diet), and these are products that her whole family enjoys even though they don’t require a gluten-free diet.   

 Erin says she purchase the majority of her GF products at Natural Food Pantry. Natural Food Pantry also has fresh bread products available each Friday. They are also hosting a Gluten Free Day on May 24th with guest speakers and many samples.

Breads/Grains:

  • Glutino Pretzels – Gluten free, milk free, egg free, casein free and really tasty! You wouldn’t know the difference with other snack pretzels. I grind them up to use them in recipes requiring bread crumbs
    Presidents Choice Organic Pastas – brown rice fusilli is a family favourite
  • Gluten Free Pantry Mixes – cake and cookie mixes that are delicious. I shred loads of carrots into the spice cake mix to make a really nice carrot cake. My kids actually asked for it as their birthday cake! The brownies and coffee cake are great too
  • Kinnikinnick Foods – gluten free bread products (usually frozen). I like the English muffins, bagels and PIZZA CRUSTS! Great for making healthy homemade pizzas – you can put loads of greens on a pizza too!
  • Only Oats Products – all of them are good. I like the quick-cook oats. Probably less nutritious, but the QUICK fits!

 Seeds/Nuts

  • Bumble Bar – organic energy bars for you runners! Gluten free and vegan – Perfect for you Donna!
  • Chia Goodness – Different Chia/Salba mixes – the Cranberry Ginger is great in yogurt
  • JK Gourmet – GF grain free granola that is sweetened with honey. Several flavours, I like the Mission fig & apricot. Good on oatmeal or in yogurt

Sauces/Mixes

  • The Mix Company – great little packets of spice blends/rubs that are gluten free, sugar free, dairy free, yeast free. My favourites include the cream sauce mix, taco spice mix and roast garlic & pepper sizzler. Each packet has recipes on the back of the label
  • Devya Indian Gourmet Products – Vegetable curry sauce is vegan and GF. The GF organic pappadums are easy and really good!
  • World Foods Indochina Stir-fry sauce – Cambodian Pineapple Lemon Grass – my family loves this stir-fry sauce
  • Organic Ville Hot & Spicy BBQ Sauce – GF, no sugar added, sweetened with Agave. Good but SPICY!!
    Premier Japan Organic GF Hoisin Sauce
  • San J – GF Teriyaki Stir-fry and marinade
  • San J – GF Tamari organic soy sauce
  • Life Soy – GF Soy sauce (some flavoured ones like spicy garlic)

Treats

  • Chapman’s Ice Cream – nut free and GF (yes, ice cream can contain gluten too!)
  • Natural Food Pantry has a variety of fresh and frozen cakes and tarts
  • Three Tarts on Wellington has a WONDERFUL GF chocolate torte ,,, hmmm I think I know how to celebrate the end of my cleanse!
