Whether it’s a quest for better health or because someone has gluten sensitivity, Canadians are reaching for gluten-free products that are delicious.
Whether it’s a quest for better health or because someone has celiac disease, more and more Canadians are reaching for gluten-free products.
According to a recent study,* 4.3 million Canadians are buying gluten-free products, but not all of these products have scored big points when it comes to taste and texture. Little Northern Bakehouse, however, is a front runner in creating new and improved gluten-free goods that are not only yummy for your tummy, but ones that are allergy-friendly as well.
Not all gluten-free products taste the same.
No matter what you choose to eat, taste always rules! So, when you’re trying to live your best life, it’s important that you like what’s on your plate.
There are many gluten-free products on grocery shelves today compared to 10 to 15 years ago, when those with celiac disease, for instance, had to shop for goods at a specialty grocer. If you lived in a smaller centre, you might have been out of luck and had to shop online — calling around to see if the producer or retailer would ship to you.
Little Northern Bakehouse goes way beyond what should be in your food and excludes what should not
Luckily, this is no longer the case. Companies like Little Northern Bakehouse now sell products across the country and are readily found at your favourite grocery store. But even with all the choices available to consumers today, not all gluten-free foods are created equal. Gluten-free baked goods can be as heavy and hard as a hockey puck on a frozen Canadian river, with a taste that could best be summed up as mealy and lacking that fresh-from-the-oven appeal.
Little Northern Bakehouse answered the call for gluten-free goodness in every bite. Using only non-GMO, plant-based ingredients that are certified free from herbicides, this company knows how to bake a bun that’s gluten-free verified and is guaranteed to taste great.
‘GF’ does not always stand for ‘Good For You’
The trend toward gluten-free foods is often spurred by a desire to eat healthier.
It may surprise you, however, to know that some gluten-free baked goods are loaded with sugar and lots of fat. The best products are authentic ones, and some bakeries are doing that quite well. But Little Northern Bakehouse goes way beyond what should be in your food and excludes what should not. All of their products are made with non-GMO ingredients and are wheat (gluten) free, but also egg, dairy, peanut, tree nuts, soy, coconut, and sesame-free.
Variety is the slice of life
Ultimately, we know that balance is the most important thing to bring to your daily diet. This is why product variety is so important.
Little Northern Bakehouse makes it possible for those with a gluten sensitivity or allergy to enjoy that burger at the company BBQ, pizza night with family and French toast at a friend’s cottage.
From the ever-popular wide slice breads to cinnamon raisin loaves, artisan pizza crusts, sprouted seven-grain bread, and millet and chia hot dog buns, Little Northern Bakehouse brings the joy of the real thing to those who thought they had lost the great taste and texture of beloved baked goods.
