GRAINSTORM FAQ
Are GRAINSTORM products suitable for diabetics?
We have had a number of diabetics who have been delighted with our products. Certainly, our formula of fresh whole grains, minimal sugar and moderate, healthy fats delivers the best possible profile for this type of food. That said, we would not presume to offer anyone medical advice—please check with your doctor.
Are your products wheat-free and/or gluten-free?
In a word, no. Spelt, kamut and Red Fife are all strains of wheat—yet biologically distinct from modern commodity wheat. Our heritage and ancient grains are a nutritious traditional staple, and many people who are sensitive to common commercial wheat find that they tolerate spelt and kamut. If you have a serious wheat allergy however, our products are not for you.
Our All Oatmeal cookies are wheat-free; however they are made on the same equipment as other mixes, so may contain scant traces of wheat.
Are your mixes suitable for a vegan diet?
Absolutely. While our base recipes are obviously not vegan, there are no animal products in the mixes themselves, so vegan preparation is possible.
