A long-time, veteran listmate at Aut-2B-Home has family members with celiac disease so she has to be vigilant about staying gluten-free. She reported today that Bob's Red Mill is offering two kinds of GLUTEN-FREE oatmeal: gluten-free rolled oats and gluten-free steel cut oats! (Thank you, Sherri!!!)
Imagine
. . . blueberry cobbler for breakfast
. . . meatballs for lunch
. . . granola for a snack
. . . meatloaf for dinner
. . . oatmeal cookies for dessert!
I quote:
Gluten-sensitive consumers have avoided commercially grown oats because they can be subject to cross-contact with gluten-containing grains during planting, harvest, transport, milling and packaging.
To solve this dilemma and provide a beloved food (used for breads, cookies, cakes, breakfasts and more) to the 3 million Americans diagnosed with Celiac Disease, Bob's Red Mill has sourced oats from more than 200 pedigree-seed oat farmers dedicated to growing pure oats.
Once harvested, the oats undergo testing to meet the R5 ELISA standards, a rigorous test for the presence of gluten. Only oats that pass this test are shipped to Bob's Red Mill. They are again tested before they are packaged in the company's dedicated gluten free facility. Batch testing is performed once more after packaging.

But SLY is allergic to oats!!! WAH!!!! Well, I suppose Jman could still have some. But oats make Sly NUTS! It's unreal!

Jamberry, your house sounds like mine. Where one loves, another has allergies. Where one hates, another loves. I can find no happy medium, so I cook simple and fast.
ReplyDeleteSherri and Diane, this is reassuring that celiacs can handle these oats!
Robyn, Awakening Children's Minds. It would be a great read for you between all of your children and grandchildren. I hope you survived all that snow . . .
Jen, hmm. . . . chocolate . . . uh, will drooling mess up a laptop!
Robin, you are too kind! I read your blog daily because I too enjoy being pulled up with encouragement. How fun!
I don't think I could do G Free without oatmeal. Its my new stable. I visited today to find our more about "The Prodigal God" by Timothy Keller (just bought the Kindle Edition)
ReplyDeleteand see you guys are Gfree too. Only a month for me-- just in time for unleavened bread LOL.
Robin, Pamela is GF. The rest of us can handle it. BTW, you might find my post on Thanksgiving helpful next November. The pumpkin pie is AWESOME!
