Sprouts "Gluten-Free Jubilee" through Feb. 1st


Gluten-Free Jubilee



Sprouts has built a loyal following of customers who seek gluten-free products – 
either because they or their family members suffer from Celiac Disease or other 
wheat-related allergies, or because they have joined the growing legion of 
people who simply believe that a diet with fewer gluten products is better. And 
for all of you, we offer our big gluten-free sale January 18-February 1, with 
25% off of more than 3,000 marked products throughout the store.




Long ago, we began tagging gluten-free products on our shelves. This is harder 
than it sounds. Some manufacturers claim that their products are gluten-free, 
and may even state that on their packaging. But the proof, as they say, is in the 
(wheat-free) pudding. Our buyers go one step further, and will not mark a 
product with a gluten-free tag unless the ingredient list meets our standards and
the facilities used to produce the products are specifically set up for gluten-free 
conditions.




Conversely, there are many products around the store that are gluten-free – 
they simply aren’t packaged in such a way that allows them to make that claim. 
This is especially true of many fresh foods.




That’s why the Gluten-Free Jubilee is such an important event. It’s a great 
opportunity for you to learn more about the ever-expanding supply of gluten-free 
products, and to save a few “wheaties” along the way.

Betty's Glutenless Gluttony

A friend of mine recommended that I venture up to the Lakeline Farmer's Market to check out a gluten-free bakery. Of course I'm always looking to find new food options so we trekked up there to get some goods! Betty's Glutenless Gluttony shows only a Farmer's Markets at this time but they do attend a few different ones in the area: http://www.glutenlessgluttony.com/Find_Us_New. Their website needs a little work but you can navigate around pretty well.

I learned that the owner was a long-time baker until she found out she had Celiac Disease. At that point she gave up baking thinking that it was all over now...but came back to it and now makes many desserts, including beautiful wedding cakes (she had an album sitting out)! I decided to pick up a cookie and quiche, and she gave me a free muffin on top of it.

The cookie was amazing, I warmed it up in the microwave and it softened just right. It was large and yummy. I had the muffin for breakfast this morning and plan on tasting the quiche for lunch today (although I snuck a bit when I was cutting it up last night). Everything tastes great, like you wouldn't even know it was gluten-free.

I'd definitely check them out, and she did let me know that they will deliver in the area. Enjoy :)
