Gluten-free items are leading the trend for this year's grocery innovations. This trend comes as many grocers begin to see the increase in demand for gluten-free products.
So, what does this mean for you?
It means that you might not have to buy gluten-free products online and wait 7-10 days for the shipment to arrive. Soon, you will be able to go to your local grocery store and find everything that you need to cook and eat gluten-free!
In fact, U. S. Natural foods giant Hain Celestial Group Inc. recently re-launched its Arrowhead Mills line of pastas, cakes and cookie mixes - which had always been gluten-free - with large 'gluten free' lettering on its new packaging.
In addition to grocery stores, more and more restaurants are beginning to offer gluten-free menus. Several pizza restaurants now offer their signature pizzas on gluten-free rice crust! Z Pizza, which was founded near my hometown, in Laguna Beach, California, now offers gluten-free pizza in most of their stores. Z Pizza has locations throughout the United States, so if you are lucky enough to live by one, I encourage you to stop by and have a taste. This is a very new concept for Z Pizza, as they have only been serving gluten-free pizza since January '09. All of their locations should have the crust, but you might want to double check before going.
I ordered my first gluten-free pizza at Z Pizza just last week and I must say, they did not disappoint! Sure, I've been eating the frozen, rice crust pizzas all my life, but there is something about ordering a pizza in an actual restaurant that brought a smile to my face.
