Foods That Aren't Food

[Jeepers]

I feel stupid but I never thought about a blueberry muffin not having blueberries in it. The others I kind of figured but blueberries? They can't even give us a couple of blueberries in a muffin?

Edited to say I was talking about the slide show in the middle of the page. I didn't view the video clip.

Same things go for these boxed cereals

Only way you're safe is to buy ONE INGREDIENT foods. I can't even find canned tomatoes with nothing besides tomatoes. I react badly if other things [well, not water or salt] are added.

 

 

MtRider NOT :yum:

I had to quit buying canned beans for daughter because they had gluten in them. That is when I started canning the dried beans myself.

MtRider, with all my allergies, it's the same thing here. Single ingredients and create my own dish.

 

CGA, I've had that problem as well. I got glutened a couple years ago by Birdseye frozen vegetables. Both were single ingredient things--cut green beans and corn. But Birdseye runs the veggies on the same lines as gluten-ingredients. It was enough to make me sick.

Daughter cannot eat much meat from the grocery either because they use 'broth' which frequently has gluten and usually msg and other nasties. I only feed her meat that I produced and processed.

I just dehydrated 30# of blueberries to use in baked goods. Probably use most in mixes to cook on the trek next yr.

I'm going to get some blueberries to dehydrate too. I like them in oatmeal. Or at least I thought I did!
