“Gluten free” has been a topic matter throughout the media and the health world for the past few years. While those who are sensitive to gluten are finding more food options now days than they ever have, sometimes it’s hard to simply think up gluten free foods on a whim. Today we’re going to talk about 5 gluten free foods to try. This list can easily be kept as a reference if you need to quickly look up foods that you can eat or you can use it as a starting point to a few creative organic gluten free recipes. Let’s get started!
- Instead of listing one or two fruits and vegetables, as long as you’re not buying canned or pre-packed fruit and/or vegetables from the big box stores, most organic fruit and vegetables are gluten free. This means that you can use tomatoes to make fresh organic pasta sauce or salsa and not have to worry about gluten.
- If you love steak, you’re in luck there as well if you need to stay away from gluten. Organic steak comes from cows that are grass fed and you don’t have to worry about antibiotics or other products being in the meat.
- Organic milk and cheese are also good options to incorporate into foods without having to worry about gluten.
- Quinoa is known as one of the latest super foods and organic quinoa is a gluten free option. What’s nice with this choice is that many people use it as a substitute for other grain based foods that typically include gluten.
- Finally, organic spices are gluten free too. This means that you can add a little flavor to your pasta sauce or salsa and not have to worry about it!
When you can’t eat gluten, it’s very important to check all of the labels to make sure that there are no additives that contain gluten, but one of the best things about organic foods is that you’re not worried about the chemical and unnatural flavorings.
