When starting out on your gluten free journey, check to see what you already have in your fridge or pantry. Here is a list of gluten free foods that you may already have around, or that you can stock up on: 

• Fruits & vegetables (at every meal, fill half of your plate with these nutrient-dense superfoods)
• Meat & poultry (choose pasture-raised and grass-fed whenever possible)
• Dairy (choose pasture-raised and grass-fed whenever possible)
• Fish & seafood (this is a great article about choosing seafood and finding sustainable, responsible, healthy options - along with some delicious gluten free recipes)
• Beans, legumes, and nuts (soaking beans can help aid in digestion, especially if you already have a sensitive system)
• Certain grains, such as: Brown rice, Millet, Buckwheat groats (also known as kasha), Gluten-free oats*, Corn.
• Other starches or seeds, such as: Potato, Cassava, Tapioca, Arrowroot, Amaranth, Yucca, Teff, Sorghum, Quinoa or Flax 

*It is important to remember that food labels can be misleading, so look for a label that says “gluten-free” and double-check the ingredients list. Also, packaged food that says “wheat-free” on the label may still contain gluten.

An added bonus of cooking gluten free foods is that often these are also recipes low in salt and sugar, increasing overall nutritional value and nutrient absorption. At True Citrus, we also have a full selection of gluten free drink mixes that are free of other additives as well. You can be rest assured that when you enjoy these drink mixes, you’re getting the best quality for you and your family.
