Tasty Food - Gluten-Free Alternatives

Few people do not appreciate good, hearty meals made with love and attention paid to the ingredients. This is true for most of us. Unfortunately, many of the dishes we adore, are not always good for us as they often cause obesity and other such conditions.

High-carb foods are often a culprit, especially in well-to do societies where people live fast – such as in the US and elsewhere - and do not always pay attention to nutritional value and healthy eating habits. Healthy eating is supported by organically grown crops that are not exposed to harmful chemicals and additives that are supposed to enhance food and the harvesting process.

Organically grown crops avoid such practices and deliver clean, pure, healthy produce. Also, not all foods agree with everybody, even if care has been taken to grow it according to healthy and responsible cultivation processes. For many, gluten is a no-no. Gluten is a protein found in the flour that is made from wheat.

Gluten intolerance is well documented and presents itself as feelings of discomfort, of feeling bloated – even pain that can last for days. Therefore, these individuals are looking at gluten- and wheat-free food products more often than before, as those foods that do not contain gluten and are not made of wheat, will not have the same adverse effects when consumed. This means soba noodles that are organically grown and are made of buckwheat instead, are now getting the nod.

Brought to the West from countries such as China and Japan, buckwheat noodles for soups and broths have been taking America by storm in recent decades. In addition to being easy and fast to prepare, soba noodles are, indeed, the healthier option, without having to compromise on taste and flavor. Your favorite, tastiest foods may well be organically grown noodles – without the gluten.

Gone are the days that you cramp up, that you feel miserable for hours after meals, or that you may suffer from worse conditions such as inflammation in your intestines caused by the gluten you take in, either in those lovely pasta dishes you may consume so regularly, or the choice of artisan breads from your favorite bakery. There are options these days – gluten-free options.

Presently much more attention is paid to healthier options such as pasta and noodles made from buckwheat and not the traditional flour people in the West have used for so long. Buckwheat is discerned from regular wheat that comes from grain: it is harvested from a leafy plant that grows in parts of Asia and is known for containing no gluten and other similar proteins that may cause pain and discomfort when consumed. Some gluten levels are even worse than others and are referred to as so-called "strong/hard" gluten, which needs to be avoided.

And, in addition to finding buckwheat from a supplier or retailer, you may well enjoy more health benefits if this buckwheat is organically grown. Therefore, once you have decided to make the switch to gluten-free noodles, you may want to look at shops and food sources that specify they market wheat- and gluten-free noodles and produce organically grown. It hardly gets better than this.

Also, it is not as if there are not many choices available for the person that wants to switch to a gluten-free diet. Think of all the gluten-free noodles you can buy these days, such as, say, brown and black rice noodles, Thai rice noodles and Vermicelli noodles among the various choices.

A good starting point may be to realize that organically grown soba noodles may have various positive implications for one’s health, as opposed to products made from wheat flour. In the US, the UK, in fact all over the world, there are now food companies that advertise these products and the health benefits to be derived from keeping these in your kitchen.
