We at The Happy Belly use several high quality
ingredients in our gluten free grain free mixes. Among them are organic coconut flour,
arrowroot flour, Real Salt (sea salt), organic coconut palm sugar, and
gluten/grain free baking soda.
Our
products offer a nutritious and delicious alternative to gluten free products
that are often filled with cheap grains, starches, and refined sugars which are damaging to the
digestive tract and raise blood sugar levels to an unhealthy high level.
We use a low amount of natural unrefined
coconut palm sugar (about half the amount in a traditional recipe), which is much lower on the glycemic index than other sugars
and contains many trace minerals.
Coconut flour is a low carb high fiber flour which is derived from
coconut and has a mild coconut flavor. It has been shown in studies that it does not interfere with the absorption of nutrients and also contributes to maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Arrowroot
flour is the only starch product
with calcium ash, making it easy to digest and useful for maintaining proper
acid and alkali balance. It also helps add a great texture to gluten free baked goods.
Our mixes are
suitable for a gluten free diets as well as grain free diets such as Paleo and
Primal. Replacing traditional baked goods with our products may also help contribute to weight loss as part of a healthy lifestyle change.
Please contact us with any questions or suggestions. We are a work in progress and will never stop trying to improve the quality of our product!
