In what has been an ongoing struggle for many people and food manufacturers, finding good tasting, gluten-free products has moved from the back of the store to a more visible, ever-growing presence. When you have a major flour manufacturer acknowledging they need to be in this space, you know you’re near the top of the Leader Board. King Arthur Flour now has a dedicated, gluten-free production facility with a broad base of product choices. They are aware of the growth in this market, and want to be in on the action.
With anticipated annual double-digit increases, G-F products are becoming mainstream. Why is this? Are we eating too many foods that cannot possibly agree with us? Are we better off returning to the unprocessed world of centuries ago?
All good questions. Obviously individuals with Celiac Disease need to remove themselves far from products with gluten. Then there are all the other people who have digestive issues or have wheat allergies. As more people become aware of the ease of possibilities to be gluten-free or embrace a reduced gluten lifestyle, the numbers of subscribers to this food universe logically will continue to increase.
The downside risk of adjusting is minimal. Reading labels may be the most arduous task unless you move yourself to a market that clearly identifies its G-F products. It may surprise you how prevalent the glutens are as oat, barley, and rye accompany the wheat tree. These grains are far more prevalent in products than a quick shrug might indicate.
With the increase in products and the ability to eat foods that mimic their gluten cousins, changing over to more of a G-F existence may prove far easier than anticipated. Being aware makes shopping that less painful. Making the switch may accomplish the same digestive reward.

We have come a long way in many of our steps to save the planet, change the world, and adhere to smart environmental and ecological principles. Many businesses are in the mood to reward customers today so you’ll be surprised by the various promotions all over town, every town.
