Heinen’s has a line of organic gluten free breakfast cereals. I listened to my inner child and tried the “Frosted Flakes”. The box lists only 3 ingredients: organic milled corn, organic sugar and salt. Interestingly, it is a product of Italy.

When paired with milk the cereal remained crisp. It was less sweet than my recollections of the Frosted Flakes of my youth, though the cereal milk at the bottom of the bowl was quite a treat.

The cereal was $1 off on the day of my purchase.

On 2 recent trips to Heinen’s, Mayfield Vlg. and Shaker, I came across Goodman gluten free offerings in the bakery department. The items included on the shelf that day were bread, brownies, snack cake, and cupcakes. I purchased the bread, cupcakes, and the snackcake.

The bread is a small loaf, about 12 slices, at $6.99. It has a gummy textural look but I found it was not at all gummy. It toasts great, holds up with toppings, and makes a great toast for sandwiches including hot sandwiches where most g-f bread collapse, crumble and become messy. We’ve used it for BLT’s, breakfast sandwiches, and burgers. All with much success and great flavor!

The cupcakes (6 minis) and snackcake, $5.99 each, are perfect size for light dessert. I found the cakes and frosting to be quite sweet but the texture and flavor of both was outstanding.

Goodman Gluten-free are not only g-f but free of dairy, nuts, and soy.
