Plantain Chips

By -
I am a big fan of plantain chips. I eat them almost everyday. They are cheap and very easy to find. Found in almost every grocery/shop. There are very few ingredients(plantain, oil, salt) and the snack is definitely gluten and lactose free even though it is not stated in the packaging. I have had no problems with them so far. I read the ingredient lists on everything before I buy them. Some products state that they are gluten free but many of them still have dairy/lactose. I spend a lot of time reading labels on many items and I end up leaving with one or two items most of the time, very sad, lol.

The plantain chips are great snacks, very tasty. There are also different flavours like sweet, garlic and pepper. I avoid the ones with garlic and pepper though. The sweet plantain chips are very addictive :)

    Hi Nyasha! I've just trying to get gluten out of my diet, and I was wondering if you could let me know if Sunshine's breakfast cereals are gluten-free. I used to eat Sunshine Frosted Flakes a lot, but now, I'm trying to find out what I can do to have my breakfasts gluten-free. Can you help?

    Hi Nyasha,
    I live in Jamaica and I have been diagnosed as gluten and lactose intolerant. I've been snacking a lot lately on the soldanze ripe plantain chips. I just did a google search to see if they were gluten free and found your blog. Keep up the great job you're doing of educating others who wish to be gluten free.

Foods rich in Thiamin (Vitamin B1)

Nutritional deficiencies can occur with people suffering from Celiac Disease due to poor absorption and also from a limited gluten-free diet. Wheat, barley and rye provide many important nutrients. Cutting out gluten can reduce some important vitamins and minerals in the diet. There are few gluten-free grain products enriched with the vitamins and minerals that gluten-containing grain products have. People would have to make substitutions in their diet to make up the nutrients. Here is a graphic that I created to show some foods rich in thiamin/vitamin B1. I used the information found from the World's Healthiest Foods website .

Coconut Drops – Gluten Free Recipe

Coconut Drops are a common baked treat found in bakeries in Trinidad and Tobago. I miss them a lot so I decided to make some. I used the Long Time Coconut Drops recipe from The Multi-Cultural Cuisine of Trinidad & Tobago & The Caribbean cookbook from Naparima Girls’ High School. I substituted the flour with the Perfect Flour Blend from Namaste Foods . I bought this flour from Be Free Foods . The flour could also be ordered Amazon . The Coconut Drops came out great, the texture and taste was good. I kept the recipe simple. Next time, I will add raisins or sultanas with less sugar so it would not be too sweet.

Yesterday, I attended the first official Gluten Free Baking Class at Moy’s Gluten Free Kitchen . It was a great experience. I received a lot of great tips and felt more motivated to bake. Each participant baked a loaf and did adaptations to the recipe. We made a non-vegan and a vegan version (without eggs). Both versions of the bread came out great. We also learnt how to bake cookies and muffins.
