They say that some of the best things in life are free – sugar free, dairy free and gluten free. Naturally, what goes into the foods we eat matters, but what’s equally important is what doesn’t go into them – gluten, a protein composite found in wheat, barley and rye. With so many people suffering from food allergies, Celiac and an intolerance to gluten, the demand for clean, allergen-free foods is at an all-time high.
Eliminate the Gluten Without Compromising the Flavor
Breadcrumbs are a prime example of a basic product that has been recreated to meet the needs of today’s health-conscious, allergy-sensitive consumer. A simple, versatile staple, breadcrumbs are stocked in most pantries across the nation and have been used in a variety of recipes for decades. Today, there are several gluten-free breadcrumb alternatives on the market. You’ll find basic, plain breadcrumbs or Gluten-free Italian breadcrumbs with seasonings like onion and garlic for additional flavor.
Breadcrumbs are a Simple Pleasure
There is nothing quite like a mixture of breadcrumbs and melted butter to top off a favorite casserole recipe or coat a chicken or pork dish. You can bake with breadcrumbs, fry fish in them, or toast them to add crunch to a salad or vegetable side dish. They are a key ingredient for adding flavor and texture to meatballs and they help provide consistency to meatloaf. Breadcrumbs can also be used in desserts as a base for squares or pies and can be mixed into home-made cookies and bars.
Experiment with Different Brands
Finding the perfect breadcrumbs, gluten free and flavorful, is simply a matter of trial and error. They can be purchased from gourmet shops online or in the natural foods section of your local grocery store. Look for different varieties until you find a brand that appeals to you. There are several companies that specialize in all-natural breadcrumbs, ground from freshly baked, gluten-free artisinal breads.
