All But Gluten available in Northern California
A new line of gluten-free products from Canada is now available locally. Dietitian Shelley Case gave us the heads up that All But Gluten products are at many Northern California locations of Safeway.
All But Gluten is made by Weston Bakeries Limited in a dedicated gluten-free facility and certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Program. Ms. Case, author of Gluten Free Diet: A Comprehensive Resource Guide, worked with the product development team to ensure they made safe, delicious and nutritious products.
The breads (whole grain, cinnamon raisin and white) and blueberry muffins contain added vitamins and minerals. They also make some treats for special occasions such as mini brownies, coconut macaroons and chocolate chip cookies. The Whole Grain bread is made with whole grain brown rice and whole grain buckwheat flour, sunflower and flax seeds, and it contains 6 g protein and 6 g fiber for 2 slices.
Ms. Case did a food show in Vancouver with a chef who has celiac disease and enjoyed this All But Gluten recipe,"She toasted three slices of the cinnamon raisin bread, cut off the crusts (to use in stuffing) and then layered the bread with carmelized onions, figs and prosciutto. Se cut them in four, put toothpicks through them, and served them as an appetizer! They were a hit with everyone."
The products are designed to be sold fresh, although they may be found in the freezer section at some Safeway stores.
