    Foods Alive Organic Onion Garlic Flax Crackers

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.
    Foods Alive Organic Onion Garlic Flax Crackers -

    Crackers are usually thought of as crispy, baked things made out of flour (usually nutritionally-devoid refined white flour). Foods Alive's Organic Onion Garlic Flax Crackers are a whole different kind of snack, but they are way more nutritious, and also quite yummy!

    foods_alive_onion_garlic_flax_crackers.webpIf asked to describe these crackers, I would say they’re like flat, crispy cakes of unprocessed flax seeds that have been compressed together. These are not the high glycemic rice, corn or potato flour/starch junk food crackers you’re used to – they’re 90% raw, USDA organic, and made almost entirely from a highly nutritious, unprocessed superfood that has shown some evidence of reducing heart disease, cancer, etc. etc.: flaxseed!

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    All that might sound too nutritious to taste good, but these crackers are actually quite palatable. This onion and garlic variety is absolutely bursting with flavor. There's no weird consistency or anything like that going on either, as one might expect from eating, well, raw seeds (no, you don't have to be a bird to enjoy these)! Some gluten-free crackers that too closely try to emulate saltines or other 'conventional' crackers end up with a weird grainy texture that some find off-putting. There's nothing like that going on here: just seeds, and tasty stuff holding them together.

    Heinz BiAglut PastaMia Gluten-Free Pasta
    Celiac.com 09/15/2010 - I recently received a sample of Heinz BiAglut PastaMia Gluten-free Fusilli and I was curious as to how this Italian gluten-free pasta would compare to others that I have tried. I cooked them exactly as instructed on the bag and they came out beautifully.  The gluten free noodles held their shape and had a nice, firm "al dente" texture. 
    The taste reminds me of the pasta I grew up with prior to being gluten free, and it would be a great canvas for any sauce.  Heinz BiAglut's gluten-free pasta is going to be my family's new staple.

    Yehuda Gluten Free Matzo-Style Squares
    Celiac.com 01/31/2012 - Traditionally, Matzo (also known as Matzah or Matza) is an unleavened bread that is eaten during the week-long Jewish holiday known as Passover. However, I just found an amazing gluten-free matzo that I will be sure to have on hand year-round. 
    Yehuda's Gluten-free Matzo is imported from Israel and is not only Kosher for Passover (Orthodox Union Parve), but it is also certified gluten-free!  These crackers are made as a large cracker sheet (approx 7” x 7”) and they have such a wonderful crunch and flakiness to them, and contain just the right amount of salt.  Compared with most gluten-free crackers I've had these are lower in both salt and sugar, and they would be perfect to set out for any guests on any occasion (gluten-free or not).

    Bold Organics Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Vegan Cheese Pizza
    I love pizza, but I am not on a gluten-free or dairy-free diet, so I am admittedly a bit skeptical of gluten-free or dairy-free pizzas. This pizza is both, and surprisingly, I was into it.
    Open Original Shared LinkThe crust didn't taste like what I'm used to, but it was good. I've tried dairy-free pizzas with “cheese” that didn't melt properly and felt weird in my mouth. This cheese melts very well and gets pretty close to the real thing (just be sure to follow the final instruction and broil it for two minutes). The pizza tasted great, I just wish it had a bit more "cheese".

    SOYJOY Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate and Cherry Bar
    Celiac.com 12/19/2012 - Usually, SOYJOY bars are all about the taste of fruit. The baked soy makes a great gluten-free base and complements each flavor well, but the fruit is almost always the centerpiece. The new dark chocolate cherry SOYJOY has a new centerpiece: dark chocolate.
    At first, I was taken aback by the overpowering chocolaty taste. I’m usually more of a milk chocolate kind of guy, but I can enjoy dark chocolate in certain situations. A few bites in, and I realized this was one such situation. In fact, I think the bar would have suffered if they had used milk chocolate instead, as the cherries are sweet enough that too much sweetness from the chocolate would be overkill. The bar is very rich, but it still retains the light, slightly moist texture of the other SOYJOY b...
