Prompt: Favorite Products

Fresh, frozen, boxed, or canned. It's that thing that replaces a product you can't eat—GF flour tortillas, GF cookies, GF beer, GF cake mix, GF crackers, GF pizza—and makes life easier for you.

Slide on into the comments and tell us about something that's always on your shopping list, or share a recipe that you like to use with a specific gluten-free product.

We're an international group, so not all these things will be available in all markets, but don't let that stop you from sharing. I'm always interested in what it's like to be gluten free—and what kind of products are available—in other parts of the world.

Grain-free Crispbreads from Le Pain des Fleurs

[jesse_the_k]

“The bread of flours” is a French company which makes fantastic crackers. My favorite are buckwheat, which contain simply buckwheat, tiny bit of sugar, and salt—c’est tout! These 10 by 5 cm rectangles are big enough and sturdy enough to make cheese toasties, as well as peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

I’ve convinced myself they taste like Rye Krisp (actually they taste like air, but the structure is key).

Le Pain des Fleurs (site en français) also make coconut, corn, quinoa, rice, chestnut, and more flavors. I found them at a Hy-Vee, and got my reliable unionized supermarket to stock them.

But do they have the texture of Rye Krisp? Aka stale roofing shingle?

Tragically, no. More like a saltine, but with that airy quality found in rice crackers.

Ah, see, that's more my style. I'll have to keep an eye out for that brand.

In the meantime, I'm going to try making my own crackers. I'm amassing cracker recipes as we speak.
