I was browsing Mike Eberhart's gluten free blog the other day and came across an interesting article that I wanted to share with those of you who may not be familiary with his blog. He talks about the misconceptions that people have about gluten-free diets and how they often wonder, "WHAT CAN YOU EAT??" after receiving a brief explanation of what we can't eat. Mike goes on to list all different kinds of grains that we CAN eat; a gluten-free grains quicklist:rice, corn, potato, teff, sorghum, amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, chia seed, bean flours, squash flours, and spices.
An interesting quote from him: "Whenever i encounter the theme of 'living without' (with regards to living without gluten), I can not help thinking that perhaps it is the rest of the population that is living without--without the variety of grains, flours, and ingredients that one may otherwise never encounter or experience unless essentially 'forced' (by celiac disease, gluten-intolerance, autism, etc) to try all these great alternatives to 'normal' flour. Happy variety-filled baking everyone! ~ Mike Eberhart.
