    Celiac.com 09/05/2020 - Looking for a dessert idea that is as simple and easy as it is original and delicious? These stuffed Medjool dates are not only gluten-free, they are naturally sweet and tasty. The blue cheese and the pistachios take them to a whole other level. Sit back and enjoy this rich, decadent dessert. I buy my dates at Trader Joe's, but you can find them at many natural foods and Middle Eastern markets.

    Ingredients:

    • 8-12 Medjool dates, pitted
    • 2 ounces Blue Cheese
    • ½ cup Pistachios, shelled

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Directions:
    Open each date, and stuff with blue cheese, pistachios, or both, as desired. 

    Close dates slightly.

    Arrange on a plate.

    Enjoy.

    Serves 3-4.

    I always thought blue cheese was not gluten free? Is this  not so?

    It depends on what the aging bacteria are cultured on. Often it is wheat is my understanding.

    Actually almost no blue cheeses are made using the original method of using moldy bread as a culture (maybe none). This was not reliable in terms of the outcome. Now possibly all cheese makers use cultures they grow in a lab, instead of relying on old moldy bread from a cave. Over the 25 years this site's been online we've never heard of any major companies that use the traditional method, yet the rumors that it could contain gluten persist.

    Scott Adams

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Desserts Can Actually be Healthy for You
    Celiac.com 06/18/2020 - Think about some of the foods that we are told are healthy for us, like those high in fiber (almonds, walnuts, figs, dates, raisins, sesame seeds), fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries), other fresh fruit (apples, pears, oranges, kiwi, bananas, cherries, melons), dairy products (1% or 2% milk, low fat cheese), and probiotics (yogurt).  Each of these ingredients is a prime candidate for use in desserts.
    Most of us love desserts.  The major offender in anything sweet is sugar.  Some people opt to use artificial sugars to avoid the calories of cane or beet sugar, while others vehemently avoid the artificial sweeteners because of their health risks.  One teaspoon of granulated sugar has just 16 calories and 4.2 grams of carbohydrates.  I...
