The Gluten Friendly Game Changers

The Gluten Friendly Game Changers

The dining scene is becoming increasingly complex with an expectation that chefs will cater to an ever-growing range of dietary requirements. Among these, the demand for gluten-free (GF) options presents unique challenges.

While some individuals choose to reduce their gluten intake for personal reasons, those with coeliac disease have no choice—consuming gluten can lead to severe health issues. Providing 'gluten-friendly' meals can be a challenge: gluten is in many food products, and gluten-friendly alternatives have often been criticised for their lack of flavour and texture.

However, I&J brings consumer choice to this space with its newly-launched gluten-friendly seafood range, crafted to meet high standards of taste and sustainability for those consumers who would rather avoid gluten.

I&J's Gluten Friendly Hoki Bites and Battered Prawn Pops are crafted using premium, certified seafood. Sourced from MSC wild-caught Australian Hoki and ASC-certified prawns, these products bring sustainably sourced seafood and quality right to your kitchen.

Sourcing top-notch, gluten-friendly ingredients can be daunting, often leading to higher costs and limited options. With I&J's offerings, chefs gain access to reliable and premium ingredients that streamline the procurement process without sacrificing quality or sustainability. This approach allows chefs to focus on their passion—creating unforgettable dining experiences. I&J’s gluten-friendly products are formulated without gluten, making it easier for chefs to offer customers dietary choices, reducing their kitchen’ gluten footprint.

Clear communication with diners about gluten-friendly options is vital, and I&J's gluten-friendly products make this communication easy.

Creativity can be a struggle when creating options or recipes for all consumers, including gluten-friendly dishes, but I&J’s versatile products serve as an excellent foundation for culinary innovation, encouraging chefs to explore new flavours and textures, whilst catering to those who prefer to reduce their gluten intake.

For example, Hoki Bites, made with Australian Hoki, are perfectly sized for snacking and make an excellent starter. Alternatively, reinvigorate traditional tacos with Prawn Pop Tacos, featuring soft corn tortillas, shredded cabbage, avocado, and a tangy lime crema for a gluten-friendly delight.

As dietary trends and consumer preferences evolve, chefs must adapt continuously. I&J’s Gluten Friendly Hoki Bites and Battered Prawn Pops offer a versatile, sustainable, and delicious solution that satisfies modern dining demands, making them an invaluable addition to any menu.
