Our prompt for September is gum free! Gluten free baking is often full of gums like xanthan and/or guar that help create structure, but not everyone can tolerate these gums. It can be difficult to find recipes or products without them, but it can be done. Flax meal, psyllium husk, and chia seeds are often used in their place, and sometimes the right mix of flours is all you need to go gum free.

The European Schär company, located in South Tyrol, produces a range of gluten-free savory and sweet eating in cheery yellow and blue packages. My recent experience is with two of their crackers.
Schär's Gluten Free Table Crackers are all about the crunch -- the closest I've tasted to Saltines since I quit gluten. They're so fragile I couldn't spread anything on them: the weight of the knife crushed the cracker. That's probably because they're all starch:
corn starch, corn flour, blend of vegetable fats and oils (palm fat, sunflower oil), maltodextrin, rice syrup, modified tapioca starch, soy flour, sea salt, yeast, guar gum, modified cellulose, cream of tartar, ammonium bicarbonate, baking soda, citric acid, natural rosemary flavor. Contains: Soy May Contain: Tree Nuts
On the other hand, they are the perfect thing to crumble in a soothing soup. I've only tasted the plain ones; the multigrain version has some flours with protein (millet, buckwheat, sorghum, flaxseed, poppy seeds) so they could be more elastic.
Schär's Gluten Free Crispbread "Cracker Toast" is indeed crispy crunchy, and not only can I spread jam on them, they stand up to melting cheese in the toaster oven. All structure and taste like absolutely nothing -- seems like just air in there. Well, there's a wee bit of flour:
rice flour, corn flour, sugar, salt. May contain: soy, tree nuts (chestnut)
Schär also sells a multigrain crispbread which could taste of something. I hope it will be a replacement for my pseudo rye-bread buckwheat Pain des Fleurs, which is no longer sold locally.
corn flour, rice flour, teff flour, buckwheat flour, pea fibre, salt, maltodextrin, apple extract, May contain: soy, tree nuts (chestnut)
Schär sell nine types of bread and rolls, as well as corn/rice pastas. Have you tried them?

Two Australian food recall emails came through yesterday for products with gluten
The recall is due to incorrect packaging (non-English labelling) which has resulted in the allergens (contains: milk, hazelnuts, almonds and soy, may contain wheat) not being listed.
Coffee Table Delights is conducting a recall of their Date & Walnut Ball and Choc Date Almond Slice. The products have been available for sale at Coffee Table Delights in WA.
The recall is due to the presence of an undeclared allergen (Gluten).
