The Benefits of Using Avocado Oil With Gluten Free Foods

Transitioning to a Gluten-Free Diet 

If your body is sensitive to gluten or you're allergic, you're probably considering switching to a gluten-free diet. While it may seem daunting, it's possible to still have a well balanced diet and eat a variety of flavorful foods. If you're just starting this journey, Chosen Foods shares some tips for switching to all gluten-free foods.

Tips for Going Gluten-Free:

1. Learn to Read the Labels
   

   While this may take more time when you're in the grocery store or cooking in the kitchen, it's important to read the labels and ingredients to make sure foods are truly gluten-free. This also includes knowing where the food was processed and if gluten foods are also processed there. Many restaurants and grocery stores now have either sections of the menu or parts of the store that are just gluten-free foods.
   
   When cooking at home, feel good about using Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil & Avocado Oil Mayo knowing that it's gluten-free, soy-free, and canola-oil free. If you need a more even coverage when using oil or want to spray a pan, use Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil Spray. Along with being gluten-free, you're also getting monounsaturated fats from the avocados and other benefits.

2. Start Cooking More from Scratch

   
   As you're transitioning to a gluten-free diet, it's great to cook at home. Not only are you improving your cooking skills but you have confidence knowing that all the ingredients you're using have no gluten in them. If you need some cooking inspiration, here are a few gluten free recipes that are full of flavor & use Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil.
