Living Gluten-Free Tastes Better Than Ever
(NAPSA) – Help has arrived for the increasing number of Americans now diagnosed with celiac disease as well as the growing number of others who choose to adopt a gluten-free lifestyle.
Once considered a niche at health food stores, hundreds of new gluten-free food products ranging from breads and pastas to meat and beverages can now be found in grocery stores across the country. What’s more, the taste, consistency and quality of the new wave of gluten-free products are a dramatic improvement over the old. That’s because food manufacturers continue to produce higher-quality, more flavorful gluten-free products.
‘With all of the new gluten-free products in the marketplace, the sky has almost become the limit in terms of the types of dishes you can prepare at home,’ said Philip Jones, president of Jones Dairy Farm, a sponsor of the Celiac Disease Foundation. ‘And if you’re looking for help in what to prepare, there are plenty of gluten-free recipes available through celiac support groups, gluten-free and traditional cookbooks and online via Web sites, blogs and message boards.’
Jones further suggests you experiment with gluten-free alternatives. He believes recipes suitable for a gluten-free diet can please anyone and offers the following brunch recipe.
