The most popular products are usually alternatives to traditional baked goods. But do these new wheat free and gluten free alternatives taste as good as the products they are trying to mimic? In the past, commercial wheat free baked goods were often tough, tasteless, gritty and over-priced. The new generation of wheat free and gluten free baked goods can be quite affordable, with a much better texture. When real foods are used as ingredients, not simply a hodge-podge of gums and other questionable fillers, the taste can actually rival or even surpass the wheat foods they are substituting. But there are still many icky products on the market, unfortunately. It isn't a given that when you buy a product from a reputable manufacturer or bakery that it will taste good. So how do you find the tasty wheat free baked goods, the ones that might even fool a die-hard wheat lover? Here are 5 tips to get you started: 1. Read reviews online. There are many online stores that sell quality wheat free and gluten free products. The better sites usually have customer reviews. 2. Contact your local Celiac group and ask for a list of recommendations. Often they will have a list of local bakeries, restaurants and several online sources for good wheat free and gluten free baked goods. 3. If you enjoy baking from scratch, visit Amazon.com and read reviews of wheat free and gluten free cookbooks. Or search for blogs that offer recipes that readers have reviewed. 4. Call local bakeries to find out if they offer wheat and gluten free options (rice flour products are the most common). If they do, visit and ask for free samples. 5. When reading ingredient labels, make sure that the majority of the ingredients in the product are foods that you (or the person you are buying for) like the taste of. Also, when shopping keep in mind that wheat free does not necessarily mean gluten free. Other gluten grains are rye, triticale, kamut, spelt and barley. Oats are often contaminated with wheat, so they are out for most gluten and wheat intolerant folks as well. Wheat free and gluten foods can be tasty and easy to find if you know where to look. As the awareness of wheat and gluten intolerance grows, the demand for quality wheat free and gluten free products and recipes will grow too.
