Pasta, breads, cereals and many baked goods are naturally high in gluten. In grain-based foods like these, gluten provides elasticity and shape, and helps provide a soft, chewy texture.
Because of its properties, gluten is often added to processed foods to improve their texture and flavour.
Does Cecilia’s Farm specialise in gluten-free foods?
No, not all our food products are gluten-free. However, most of the items we offer feature premium South African dried fruits, nuts and seeds as the star ingredients and are naturally gluten-free.
This includes all our fruit protein and fruit smoothie bars.
We are also careful to indicate whether our products are suitable for gluten-free diets. Please check for a “Gluten free” entry under Product details – Dietary requirements on the product page for any item.
