The Doves Farm story began at their farm near Hungerford in 1978. In addition to their great tasting bread flours, they make a variety of organic and gluten free products including biscuits, cookies, cereal bars, breakfast cereals, pasta and baking requisites. They have two mills and two bakeries, enabling them to separate production of their organic and gluten free products. At the heart of their business however, they remain organic flour specialists.
As ever we are always on the search for a good 'free from' loaf and at the Natural & Organic Trade Show earlier this month we discovered a great little bread mix that is not only gluten and wheat free but soy, milk and yeast free too. So with an air of trepidation and a pinch of curiosity we headed over to the Sukrin stand at the show to see if their bread passed our taste test. And we were pleasantly surprised by what we found.
EqualiTea was born from the frustration and difficulty of finding an alternative to the regular selection of English breakfast teabags available in the UK. Not that there is anything wrong with a good Breakfast Tea but occasionally something different can make a welcome change.
After going gluten free in 2009 Ann Perkins discovered a few things; first she started to feel a lot better and had loads more energy; second, she realised she had a lot less choice in food, and that a lot of gluten free food is inferior in quality and more expensive than the gluten containing alternative. So in 2011, Ann, together with Steven Turner, decided to give up their jobs and think of ways they could make life better for everyone who has to avoid eating gluten. And PERK!ER was established in 2012.
How often is the free-from section in your local supermarket dominated by sugary snacks? Following a free-from diet can often mean you have to miss out on savoury snacks, with many producers relying on sugar and fats to replace the omitted ingredients. Well, now UK based Melia Organic LLP have launched Porkilicious®... and this free-from snack is not only tasty and savoury but lower in fat. The benefits of 100% organic produce means Porkilicious has 30% reduced fat compared to its non-organic competitors and contains less than 100 calories per pack.
