Strawberries are Gluten Free
There actually are a few good things about being forced to eat a gluten-free diet. One is that you are more inclined to eat foods in their natural state.
Last night we went to the weekly street fair event in downtown Palm Springs. A produce stand was offering the nicest, most deeply red strawberries I'd seen in a long time, so we bought a bunch of them. This morning I filled a cereal bowl 3/4 full of these absolutely luscious strawberries, then mixed in a container of Trader Joe's strawberry flavored soy yogurt. Wow, that was nice.
It sure is nice to get strawberries that have actually been ripened on the vine and picked within the last 48 hours. They are so much better than the supermarket junk that looks like strawberries but lacks the real flavor. I'm sure eating freshly picked and locally grown produce is much better from a nutritional standpoint too.
It seems like the foods I enjoy the most are naturally free of gluten, that's very convenient.
