Nona Lim Gluten-Free Product Review

Hello, Nona Lim!
Delicious, fresh and convenient for home 

If you're seeking a delicious fall and winter filling meal to warm you up for lunch and/or for dinner, Nona Lim artisan food products should be added to your shopping list.

Over 90 percent of the vegetables including many organic, are sourced locally nearby their home base of Oakland, California.  In fact, all soups, broth and noodles are certified gluten-free, non Gmo verified, dairy free, and some are vegan, without the use of additives or preservatives, commonly found in other products eaten today. Their products do contain soy.

Introducing Tiger Nuts from Our True Roots

What the heck are tiger nuts? Well they're not a nut first of all. I met a brand, Our True Roots, at a gluten free and allergen free consumer show and fell in love with Tiger Nuts immediately. Tiger Nuts are a vegetable, in fact they're super nutrient dense tubers that grow under ground, like most awesome super foods. Traces of Tiger nuts are over 4,000 years old and some sources say 4 million years old when our Paleo ancestors consumed Tiger Nuts as most of their diet.

Montana Gluten Free Farmer/Processor 

Montana Gluten Free is a proud to offer gluten-free and Non-GMO oats for everyone of all ages! Being Celiac Spru Association (CSA) verified also adds major respect to ppm gluten traces and trust in the marketplace.  I learned that Montana grows, mills, packages and markets healthy, gluten free food in carefully monitored fields where most of today's oat products are contaminated with wheat at the mills, ehem, Quaker. They're entire line of all purpose baking mix, raw oatmeal, oat bran, cream of oats and waffle pancake mix will delight families.

Maya Kaimal Chickpea Chips Product Review

Introducing my new favorite chip, Maya Kaimal - chick pea chips! I've been looking for a well formed chip to hold my dips and spreads. Preferably, my chip needs to be healthier than the alternative because most chips are still not "healthy" they're too guilty and lack some basics in my diet such as protein when snacking too often. Yes. I'm a chip-a-holic as it's my biggest food weakness! Chick pea chips are full of protein and fiber and are ideal alone or with homemade guacamole, hummus, tomato and onion salad as well as the occasional cheese or salsa for special occasions and football season!
