After years of putting up with the vacuum packed gluten free breads that need refreshing in the microwave, I thought that there would never be a bread that I could use for packed lunches. To be honest with you, I just gave up on sandwiches and got creative (quiche, home baked chicken nuggets and waffles) So, when renewing the prescription, imagine my delight when the receptionist told me about Glutafin's fresh white sliced loaf. No toaster or microwave refreshing, just soft white bread. This bread is seriously the best on the market right now. At a push the other traditional gluten free breads are good for toasting, but this loaf is a dream come true. This is the closest that you can get to a fresh bread taste, and it is damned good. Even those who are not gluten intolerant, who I offered this to were pleasantly surprised.
The best thing about this loaf is that it is available on prescription. This means that it counts as one prescription item, but what you get is a box of 8 loaves. It stays fresh for up to 5 days from the date on the tag and it freezes beautifully. Freezing it does not affect the quality, the taste or texture at all. I simply take four slices from the frozen loaf and defrost it betwen two sheets of kitchen paper or a clean tea towel. It is defrosted and ready to make into sandwiches in around 30 minutes.
For the first time, my son felt like all of the other kids who took packed lunches to school, lovely soft sandwiches like everyone else. These little things mean alot when you are a kid. Hell, they mean alot for anyone struggling to think of what to pack for a GF lunch!
Thankyou Glutafin, you rock!
