Gluten-Free Goodies at Ingles

by Leah McGrath, RD, LDN – Ingles Dietitian

Often one of the most challenging aspects of being on a gluten-free diet for celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (gluten intolerance) is finding good quality baked goods.

At Ingles we carry a variety of mixes and non-gluten flours so individuals can make their own breads, cakes and cookies using Bob’s Red Mill and King Arthur Flours and mixes or Betty Crocker gluten free cake, cookie and brownie mixes. We also have frozen gluten free breads from Udis Gluten Free and Rudi’s Gluten Free in the frozen foods department.

It is a pleasure to be able to offer freshly made gluten free items to our Asheville area customers. Look for these locally made gluten free items at Asheville area Ingles stores in the BAKERY department:

My Gluten Free Bread Company of Hendersonville – supplies about 8 Ingles stores with gluten free breads and baked products. www.mygfbread.com

In addition to operating as a retail bakery they also provide training and education for at-risk youth.
Dolci Di Maria of Swannanoa – currently supplying four Ingles stores with delicious gluten free (and casein free) dessert items that have been carefully crafted.

Look for their cakes, cupcakes, brownies and biscotti. www.dolcidimaria.com.
