A recent report from Research and Markets, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gluten-Free Foods in the U.S. 6th Edition,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> projected that sales of gluten-free foods in the following categories\u2014Salty Snacks, Crackers, Fresh Bread, Pasta, Cold (ready-to-eat) Cereal, Baking Mixes, Cookies, Flour, and Frozen Bread\/Dough\u2014are expected to grow to more than $2 billion by 2020. That is a lot of gluten-free food and snacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, what exactly is gluten? The Celiac Disease Foundation defines gluten as \u201ca general name for the proteins found in wheat (wheatberries, durum, emmer, semolina, spelt, farina, farro, graham, KAMUT\u00ae khorasan wheat and einkorn), rye, barley, and triticale \u2013 a cross between wheat and rye.\u201d Gluten behaves as the glue that holds food together. Several different categories of ingredients such as fruit, vegetables, and protein do not naturally have gluten. Creating snacks and other grain-based products requires additional knowledge about how each gluten-free ingredient works as the many of the frequently used grains contain gluten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are, however, many plant-based gluten-free ingredient options that are now being used to create healthy, tasty, and filling <a href=\"http:\/\/santaclaritaconcessions.com\/healthy.php\">snacks<\/a>. The following are a few that Santa Clarita employees might be familiar with:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left;width: 50%\">\n<h5><strong>Whole Grain, Gluten-Free Ingredients<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amaranth <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Buckwheat groats (or kasha) <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Corn (maize) <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gluten-free oats <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Millet <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quinoa <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sorghum <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teff <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wild Rice\/Brown Rice <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left;width: 50%\">\n<h5><strong>Plant-Based, Gluten-Free Ingredients<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arrowroot<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pulses (beans, lentils &amp; chickpeas)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cassava<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Flax<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nut flours<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Soy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tapioca<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">White Rice<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-112\" src=\"https:\/\/santaclaritaconcessions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AdobeStock_110502317-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Gluten Free Snacks in Santa Clarita\" width=\"1222\" height=\"816\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Researchers from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gluten-Free Foods in the U.S., 6th Edition<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> found that &#8220;pulse-based [ingredients] are particularly valuable in improving the nutrient quality of gluten-free products, as they are richer in fiber, protein, and micronutrients than GF [gluten-free] staples rice and tapioca flour. The appeal of ancient and sprouted grains is much like that of pulses. For food processors [or manufacturers], these ingredients provide whole food, plant-based protein sources that enhance appearance, deliver unique tastes and textures, pack a nutritional wallop, and invite variety and innovation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With such a wide variety of ingredients and the different ways that they can be used, the availability of tasty gluten-free snacks in Santa Clarita has grown to include many different salty and sweet snack choices. Gluten-free salty snacks often include rice and corn puffs flavored with aged cheddar or popped potato chips with barbecue flavoring. Sweet treats vary from cookies made with rice or oat flour to gluten-free Greek yogurt with a wide variety of fruit choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Have you considered offering both gluten-free and traditional <a href=\"http:\/\/santaclaritaconcessions.com\/snacks.php\">snacks<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/santaclaritaconcessions.com\/beverages.php\">beverages<\/a> in your office break room?
