Talk about a hot trend, and we have spent a lot of time uncovering the foods that keep many readers safe and healthy.  Gluten-free products are literally exploding in the marketplace. Such great news for those who need to avoid the gluten-laden universe.

No longer do you need to go to specialty stores to find the products as most major grocers have figured out the advantages of stocking G-F products. Some cleverly mark the shelves with a locator tag, and others devote whole aisles to these offerings. Either way the search has become easier and less convoluted.

Love when a restaurant has become dedicated to those who need to follow a G-F path. Take this one in Bethesda, MD, Lilit Cafe. They have an extensive menu of options for each meal period to please the G-F diner and non gluten-intolerant alike. Impressive. If you question taste, start with the homemade gelato! As for desserts, they found a partner in Baltimore’s Sweet Sin Bakery, an all-natural, G-F facility. This bakery now supplies numerous grocers that want to have G-F desserts available for their shoppers.

When a restaurant devotes itself to a G-F approach, so many diners who were unable to eat out can now enjoy a restaurant experience. The same for desserts. No matter how hard we try, the sweet tooth beckons. Here are two champions for those who need these products and for the growing number of individuals who feel healthier by reducing the gluten in their foods.

This is the kind of news we can all appreciate.
