For individuals seeking to maintain a gluten-free diet while prioritizing clean ingredients, a recent video offers practical insights from a shopper's perspective. The guide, filmed inside a Whole Foods Market, highlights various products that align with a 'clean eating' philosophy. The creator, who previously experienced persistent gut health issues despite adhering to a gluten-free diet, discovered that many gluten-free products contain fillers and preservatives. This realization prompted her to focus on items with simpler, more natural ingredient lists. Among the recommended products are Jovial brand gluten-free pasta, praised for its minimal ingredients. For snacks, Mary's Gone Crackers and Siete grain-free tortilla chips are featured, with Siete chips specifically noted for being made with avocado oil. The guide also showcases Boulder Canyon chips, which use olive or avocado oil, and Jackson's sweet potato chips. In the baking aisle, Simple Mills almond flour mixes for pancakes, brownies, and cupcakes are highlighted for their purposeful ingredients. For bread, Base Culture is recommended as a gluten-free option free from seed oils and artificial additives. Cappello's almond flour crust pizza and chocolate chip cookie dough are also presented as cleaner alternatives in the frozen section. Finally, for breakfast options, Seven Sundays, Lovebird, and Purely Elizabeth cereals are suggested, emphasizing their real food ingredients and gluten-free oats.
