Goodness Gracious… Good Graces

May 03, 2022Jennifer Blaser RD, LD

May is Celiac Awareness Month. While anyone can eat gluten-free, it is especially important for those who suffer from celiac disease. Celiac is an autoimmune disease that causes damage to the small intestine by the ingestion of gluten-containing foods. Changes in diet are essential for a healthy life with celiac, including switching to a gluten-free diet indefinitely.

With an increasing amount of people living a gluten-free lifestyle has come an increase in products to choose from. Gluten-free eating has not always been palatable, accessible or affordable. However, we are changing the gluten-free eating landscape with our Good Graces gluten-free line. Several nutritious options are available, including instant oatmeal, seasoning mixes like taco, chili and guacamole, as well as high-protein and fiber pastas perfect for an easy weeknight meal.

Reasons to Choose Good Graces®

  • Affordable - The budget-friendly offerings provide high-quality, gluten-free products at an affordable price, which helps make a gluten-free diet more attainable for customers.  
  • Accessible - With a selection of more than 90 gluten-free products, this expansive product line ensures gluten-free eating is accessible and affordable for everyone.
  • Family Friendly - Products include family favorites like pizza, breaded chicken nuggets, pasta, soups, oatmeal and baking mixes that make incorporating gluten-free eating easy (and tasty!) for everyone in the family.

While there are so many products to choose from, we recommend starting with the chickpea or lentil pastas with this delicious recipe:
