Bitesize: Gluten Free Flour


Posted 1 month ago in Food & Drink Features

As bakers get set to roll up their sleeves ahead of the festive baking season, it’s worth remembering that one in every hundred people here are estimated to have coeliac disease.

While the importance of offering a high-quality gluten-free alternative to those with dietary restrictions and preferences cannot be overstated, late last year saw flour-makers Odlums help address this need with the launch of a brace of new products.

Made from gluten free and wheat free ingredients, their Gluten Free Cream Plain and Self Raising Flour are both part of the ‘Free From’ category on Irish shelves, ultimately helping make baking accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Available from selected retailers throughout the city for RRP €3.49.
