The Bite:
We hear ya. Healthy options for the 2 million Americans allergic to gluten (in wheat, rye or barley) have been cerealy slim. Until now. Many companies are going against the grain, offering gluten-free pastas, breads and sweets.
The Benefits: 
  • A healthier diet. Our gluten-free picks contain fewer additives and preservatives.
  • Tastier bites. New options mean that just 'cuz you're "different" doesn't mean you have to settle for less in the taste department.
  • A healthier earth, since many options are organic. A 22-year study found that organic corn and soy crops use 30% less fossil fuel energy than non-organic.
Personally Speaking: 
San Francisco team member Kay is really sensitive to wheat, so she checks labels and sticks with gluten-free faves from Pamela's Products.
Wanna Try: 
Bonnie Richardson

Cocktail Fact

A 2002 study found that kids with autism who ate gluten-free diets exhibited fewer symptoms.

Bang For The Bite

Although specialty foods can be harder to find, a little gluten-free gluttony with better-for-the-planet options is sa-wheat!
